C++ Quotient and Remainder

To find the quotient and remainder in C++, you can use the division operator (/) and modulus operator (%). The division operator (/) calculates the quotient of dividing one number by another, while the modulus operator (%) calculates the remainder.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to find the quotient and remainder in C++:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    int dividend = 17;             // The number to be divided
    int divisor = 5;               // The number to divide by

    int quotient = dividend / divisor;     // Calculate the quotient
    int remainder = dividend % divisor;    // Calculate the remainder

    std::cout << "Quotient: " << quotient << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Remainder: " << remainder << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Explanation of each step:

  1. We declare and initialize two variables dividend and divisor. These variables represent the numbers we want to divide.

  2. We calculate the quotient by using the division operator (/). The result of the division is stored in the variable quotient.

  3. We calculate the remainder by using the modulus operator (%). The result of the modulus operation is stored in the variable remainder.

  4. Finally, we use std::cout to display the values of quotient and remainder on the console.

Output:

Quotient: 3
Remainder: 2

In this example, the dividend is 17 and the divisor is 5. The quotient is 3 (17 divided by 5 is 3) and the remainder is 2 (17 modulo 5 is 2).

This code snippet demonstrates how to find the quotient and remainder in C++ using the division and modulus operators.
