Remainder Arithmetic
Division of one integer by another gives both a quotient and a remainder. Divide 7 into 22. The quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1. This means that 3 * 7 + 1 = 22. Define remainder(22,7) to be the remainder when 22 is divided by 7. Extending this definition to all integers, we get remainder(7,2)=... Sign in to see full entry.
