You want to think modular arithmetic though. You should read through the post on modular arithmetic. We are JUST concerned about those remainders -- not fractions (though we do need to track the number we are dividing next). If it is easier for you to think fractions, then EVERY fractional remainder needs to be thought of in terms of the divisor (4 in your case) though it ends up being whatever that base is.
