Quotient And Remainder:
==> The remainder is the integer left over after dividing one integer by another. The quotient is the quantity produced by the division of two numbers.
For example:
==> (7/2) = 3 In the above expression 7 is divided by 2, so the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1.
Approach:
==> Divide the dividend by the divisor using / operator. Both dividend and divisor can be of any type except string, the result will also be computed accordingly.
==> Get the remainder using % operator. Expressions used in program to calculate quotient and remainder:
Example Program:
package javaprogram;
public class Remainder {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int dividend = 555, divisor = 10;
while (dividend > 4) {
int remainder = dividend % divisor;
System.out.println("The Remainder is = "+ remainder);
// Reduce the dividend by removing the last digit
dividend=dividend/divisor;
}
}
}
Output:
The Remainder is = 5
The Remainder is = 5
The Remainder is = 5
