Explanation: Imagine there are 100 voters in a town, and there are 2 available seats for a local council election. You want to distribute the voters equally to determine, and each candidate needs 50 votes.

In this image 100 is the dividend
In this image 2 is the divisor
We get 50 as the quotient in this image
And we get the Remainder is 0.
