Remainder - The Remainder For Natural Numbers

The Remainder For Natural Numbers

If a and d are natural numbers, with d non-zero, it can be proven that there exist unique integers q and r, such that a = qd + r and 0 ≤ r < d. The number q is called the quotient, while r is called the remainder. See Euclidean division for a proof of this result and division algorithm for algorithms describing how to calculate the remainder.

Famous quotes containing the words remainder, natural and/or numbers:

    Then I had only prisoners’ thoughts. I awaited the daily walk which I took in the yard, or my lawyer’s visit. I managed the remainder of my time very well. I have often thought that if I was made to live in a dry tree trunk, without any other occupation but to watch the flower of the sky above my head, I would have gradually gotten used to it.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Freedom is a man’s natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. Numbers sanctify, my good fellow.
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
