Different definitions and formulas for the division of mathematics.

What is division?

Division is splitting into equal parts or groups. It is the result of "fair sharing". The sign of division is "÷" and programmatically is "/".

Examples:-

In mathmatics:

Here 20 is the prime number. 20 should be divided by 10. This will result in 2. Because we know, if we divide 20 by 10, the quotient or result will be 2.

Therefore, it can be proved that:
Here,
* 10 is the divisor, which divides 20 by itself.
* 20 is the divident, which will be divided by 10.
* 2 is the quotient, which is the result of the division.
* 0 is the remainder or modulo, which remains when divided.

More examples:-

Here 21 is the prime number. Divide 21 by 10. This will result in 2. But 1 will remain. Because, 21 cannot be divided by 10. 20 can be divided by 10. Due to which 21-20 = 1 remains. And this is the modulo or reminder.

Introduction:-

      Divisor| Divident |Quotient
                 ...
              __________
                Modulo

In any programs:-

  To see quotient:
  
     Divident / Divisor = Quotient

  To see modulo:
            
     Divident % Divisor = Quotient

Modulo in programs:-

The function of modulus % is to find the reminder. Modulo is recently used to find out whether a number is odd or even.

A number is even when its divided by 2/4/6/8/10/12/...., it is infinitely divisible, which means that the remainder is 0 (zero) and otherwise the number is odd.

Examples :

5 ÷ 2 = 2.1

(.1) 1 remains, its odd.

4 ÷ 2 = 2.0

(.0) 0 remains, its even.
