C program to calculate quotient and remainder

Comprehensive Collection of C Programming Examples

In this example, you will learn how to calculate the quotient and remainder of one integer divided by another.

Program to calculate quotient and remainder

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
　　　　int dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder;
　　　　printf("Enter dividend: ");
　　　　scanf("%d", ÷nd);
　　　　printf("Enter divisor: ");
　　　　scanf("%d", &divisor);
　　　　//Calculate quotient
　　　　quotient = dividend　/　divisor;
　　　　//Calculate remainder
　　　　remainder = dividend % divisor;
　　　　printf("Quotient = %d\n", quotient);
　　　　printf("Remainder = %d", remainder);
　　　　return 0;
}

Output result

Enter dividend:　39
Enter divisor:　7
Quotient =　5
Remainder =　4

In this program, the user is required to input two integers (dividend and divisor). They are stored in the variables dividend and divisor respectively.

printf("Enter dividend: ");
scanf("%d", ÷nd);
printf("Enter divisor: ");
scanf("%d", &divisor);

Then use/(division operator) to calculate the quotient and store it in the variable quotient.

quotient = dividend　/　divisor;

Similarly, use the modulus operator (%) to calculate the remainder and store it in the variable remainder.

remainder = dividend % divisor;

Finally, use printf() to display the quotient and remainder.

printf("Quotient = %d\n", quotient);
printf("Remainder = %d", remainder);
