Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder in C

Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder in C

In this tutorial, we will discuss the Program to Compute Quotient and Remainder in C

In this post, we are going to learn how to find quotient and remainder using two numbers via different 3 ways in C.

Compute Quotient and Remainder

Compute Quotient and Remainder in C – standard method

Program 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int dividend=200,divisor=12;
    int quotient,remainder;
    quotient=dividend/divisor;  // / operator use to compute quotient
    remainder=dividend%divisor;  // % operator use to compute remainder
    printf("Quotient = %d\n",quotient);
    printf("Remainder = %d\n",remainder);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Quotient = 16
Remainder = 8

 

In this program,

• integer variables dividend,divisor are declared and initialized
• integer variables quotient,remainder are declared.
• The dividend and divisor both are used to calculate quotient and remainder
• Then,the program is displayed the output of using printf() function

 

Compute Quotient and Remainder in C – Using user input

Program 2

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int dividend,divisor;
    int quotient,remainder;
    printf("Enter dividend: " );
    scanf("%d",&dividend);
    printf("Enter divisor: " );
    scanf("%d",&divisor);
    quotient=dividend/divisor; // / operator use to compute quotient
    remainder=dividend%divisor; // % operator use to compute remainder
    printf("Quotient = %d\n",quotient);
    printf("Remainder = %d\n",remainder);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Enter dividend: 200
Enter divisor: 15
Quotient = 13
Remainder = 5

 

• Integer variables dividend,divisor are declared.
• Integer variables quotient,remainder are declared.
• The program asks input from the user
• Then the user enters the input values for dividend and divisor.
• The program will read the input using scanf() function and store the variables dividend and divisor respectively
• The dividend and divisor both are used to calculate quotient and remainder.
• Then,the program is displayed the output of using printf() function

 

Compute Quotient and Remainder in C – Using function

Program 3

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 int findQuitient(int a, int b){
   return a/b;
    }
    int findRemainder(int a, int b){
   return a%b;
    }
int main()
{
    int dividend,divisor;
    printf("Enter dividend: " );
    scanf("%d",&dividend);
    printf("Enter divisor: " );
    scanf("%d",&divisor);

    printf("Quotient = %d\n",findQuitient(dividend,divisor));
    printf("Remainder = %d\n",findRemainder(dividend,divisor));
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Enter dividend: 230
Enter divisor: 15
Quotient = 15
Remainder = 5

 

Approach

• Declare dividend and divisor.
• The program takes input from the user
• Then the user enters the input value for  dividend and divisor.
• the program will read the input using scanf() function and store the variables in dividend and divisor respectively
• define the function findQuotient() and findRemainder() to find quotient and remainder
• Call the function with argument to produce output
• finally, the program displays the output using printf() function

 

Program 4

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//user define function for find quotient
  void findQuotient(int a, int b){
   int Quotient= a/b;
   printf("Quotient = %d",Quotient);
    }
    //user define function for find remainder
    void findRemainder(int a, int b){
   int Remainder =a%b;
     printf("\nRemainder %d",Remainder);
    }
int main()
{
    int dividend,divisor;
    //integer variable declaration
    printf("Enter dividend: ") ;
    //Ask input from the user for dividend
    scanf("%d",&dividend);
    //Reading the input
    printf("Enter divisor: ") ;
    //Ask input from the user for divisor
     scanf("%d",&divisor);
    //Reading the input

    findQuotient(dividend,divisor);
    //Call the function for display quotient
    findRemainder(dividend,divisor);
    //Call the function for display remainder
    getch();
    return 0;
}

 

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Enter dividend: 54
Enter divisor: 6
Quotient = 9
Remainder = 0

 

Program 5

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//user define function for find quotient
 void findQuotient(int a, int b){
   int Quotient= a/b;
   printf("Quotient = %d",Quotient);
    }
    //user define function for find remainder
    void findRemainder(int a, int b){
   int Remainder =a%b;
     printf("\nRemainder %d",Remainder);
    }
int main()
{
    int dividend=190,divisor=7;
    //integer variable declaration

    findQuotient(dividend,divisor);
    //Call the function for display quotient
    findRemainder(dividend,divisor);
    //Call the function for display remainder
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Quotient = 24
Remainder = 2
