10. Division Quotient and Remainder

Write a C program to find the quotient and remainder of a division.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include<stdio.h>      // Include the standard input/output header file.
#include<stdlib.h>     // Include the standard library header file.

int main ()          // Start of the main function.
{
int num1, num2;   // Declare two integer variables 'num1' and 'num2'.
div_t divresult;  // Declare a variable of type div_t to store the result of the division.

printf("\n Input numerator : ");   // Prompt the user to input the numerator.
scanf("%d",&num1);   // Read the user's input and store it in 'num1'.

printf(" Input denominator : ");   // Prompt the user to input the denominator.
scanf("%d",&num2);   // Read the user's input and store it in 'num2'.

divresult = div (num1,num2);   // Perform the division using the div function and store the result in 'divresult'.

printf (" quotient =  %d, remainder = %d.\n\n", divresult.quot, divresult.rem);   // Print the quotient and remainder.

return 0;   // Return 0 to indicate successful execution of the program.
}   // End of the main function.

Sample Output:

Input numerator : 2000                                                                                       
Input denominator : 235                                                                                      
quotient =  8, remainder = 120.
