常见错误:
Learners sometimes confuse "remainder" with "remains." Use "remainder" for what is left of an amount or group (the remainder of the cake, the remainder of the team). Use "remains" mainly for what is left of something destroyed or dead (the remains of a building, human remains). In many everyday sentences, "the rest of" is more natural than "the remainder of" in informal speech.

常见错误:
Learners sometimes confuse the "quotient" (the result of the division) with the "remainder" (the part left over). In the division 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2, 3 is the quotient, and 2 is the remainder. In algebra, the word "mod" or the modulo symbol (%) is also related but refers to the operation, not the leftover number itself.
