Remainder Calculator

Remainder calculator, as the name suggests, is used for finding the left term at the end of a division. This calculator can find three different values for the users. These are:

• Remainder
• Quotient 
• Calculation process

What is a remainder?

The remainder is that whole number that is left or remaining at the end after a division calculation. It happens when the dividend is not completely divisible by the divisor. For instance, see the image below:

Such calculations, when put in a fraction, make mixed numbers. The remainder comes as numerator, divisor as the denominator, and the quotient are written at the left side of the fraction.

For example:

How to find the remainder? 

You can use the quotient and the remainder calculator to find the remainder. But to learn the hand method, see the example solved below.

Example:

Divide 234 by 3. Also, tell its remainder.

Solution:

Step 1: Identify the values.

Divisor = 3

Dividend = 324

Step 2: Perform division.

= 324 / 3

Step 3: Identify the remainder.

The remainder is 2.

Normal scientific calculators do not give remainders to such questions. You usually get a decimal value answer. This is why, remainders calculator is useful.
