3 divided by 8= 0.375 ... The number 8 divided by 3 is 2 with a remainder of 2 (8 / 3 = 2 R.2). When you divide 8 by 3, it does not come out evenly because 3 is not a factor of 8. For example, you can't split eight pencils into three even groups, so you would have two even groups of three pencils, with two pencils left over.
