Division Formula:
From: | To: |
Division with remainder (also called Euclidean division) is the process of dividing one integer (the dividend) by another (the divisor) to produce a quotient and a remainder. The remainder is always less than the divisor.
The calculator uses the following formulas:
Where:
Details: Division with remainder is fundamental in computer science (hashing, cryptography), number theory, and everyday arithmetic. It's the basis for modular arithmetic used in clock systems and cyclic patterns.
Tips: Enter two positive integers (dividend and divisor). The divisor must be greater than zero. The calculator will display both the integer quotient and the remainder.
Q1: What happens if the divisor is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires the divisor to be at least 1.
Q2: How is this different from regular division?
A: Regular division can produce fractional results, while integer division gives whole number results with a remainder.
Q3: What's the relationship between quotient and remainder?
A: They satisfy: \( a = b \times \text{quotient} + \text{remainder} \) where \( 0 \leq \text{remainder} < b \).
Q4: Can I use negative numbers?
A: This calculator is designed for positive integers only, though the mathematical concept works for negatives.
Q5: What's the floor function?
A: It rounds down to the nearest integer (e.g., floor(7/3) = 2, floor(-1.5) = -2).
