What Is a Remainder?
A remainder is what's left over when one number doesn't divide evenly into another. Need the full digit-by-digit division work instead of just the final answer? See the long division calculator.
Worked example
Divide 47 by 6.
6 fits into 47 seven times (6 × 7 = 42).
47 − 42 = 5
Quotient = 7, remainder = 5
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a remainder?
The remainder is whatever is left over after dividing one number by another as many whole times as possible. If 47 ÷ 6 = 7 with 5 left over, then 5 is the remainder.
How do you calculate a remainder?
Divide, keep only the whole number part of the result (drop anything after the decimal point), multiply that whole number by the divisor, then subtract from the original dividend. What's left is the remainder.
What does it mean if the remainder is 0?
A remainder of 0 means the divisor divides evenly into the dividend — in other words, the divisor is a factor of the dividend. See the factor calculator to find every number that divides a given number evenly.
