C Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder

Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder;
  printf("Enter dividend : ");
  scanf("%d", &dividend);
  printf("Enter divisor : ");
  scanf("%d", &divisor);
  quotient = dividend / divisor;
  remainder = dividend % divisor;
  printf("Quotient is %d and Remainder is %d", quotient, remainder);
  return 0;
}

Output

Enter dividend : 37
Enter divisor : 4
Quotient is 9 and Remainder is 1

Working of the above program

• First we declare integer character variables dividend, divisor to store the value of dividend and divisor entered by the user and remainder, quotient to store the results.

int dividend, divisor, quotient, remainder;

• Then we asked the user to enter dividend and take the user input using scanf() function and store the entered value in variable dividend.

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

• Then we asked the user to enter divisor and take the user input using scanf() function and store the entered value in variable divisor.

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

• Then we divide the dividend by divisor and store the value in quotient variable.

quotient = dividend / divisor;

• Then we use the % modulus operator to get the remainder when we divide dividend with divisor.

remainder = dividend % divisor;

• Finally we print the values of quotient and remainder using printf() function.

printf("Quotient is %d and Remainder is %d", quotient, remainder);
