remainder

{{mathematics}} The amount left over after subtracting the divisor as many times as possible from the dividend without producing a negative result. If {{n}} (dividend) and ''d'' (divisor) are integers, then {{n}} can always be expressed in the form ''n = dq + r'', where ''q'' (quotient) and ''r'' ('''remainder''') are also integers and 0 ≤ ''r'' < ''d''.
