Question

What is a remainder?

Answer 1

Remainder.

The remainder is a leftover value when a number is divided by another number. The remainder is always less than the divisor(the number which is dividing). Basically when a number can't be divided further after an extent then whatsoever is left is called the remainder.

The division process includes:

• Dividend - The number which is to be divided
• Divisor - The number which is dividing the dividend
• Quotient - The resultant of the divisor
• Remainder - Leftover value after division always

The division formula is as follows:

$\mathrm{Dividend}=\mathrm{Divisor}\times \mathrm{Quotient}+\mathrm{Remainder}$

And the formula for the remainder is:

$Remainder=Dividend-\left(Divisor\times Quotient\right)$

Thus, the remainder is a leftover value when a number is divided by another number.
