Grouping is when we divide a number of objects into equal groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of objects in each group, but we don't know how many equal groups there are.

Sharing is when a whole amount is split into equal parts or groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of parts it is split into, but we don't know how many are in each part.

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend does not divide exactly by the divisor.
