Since most basic calculators display remainders as decimals, this guide explains how to isolate the whole number, calculate the product of that whole number and the divisor, and subtract this result from the original dividend to reveal the true remainder.

That decimal is actually the remainder. To use the calculator to determine the remainder we have to multiply the whole number times the divisor and then subtract that from the dividend. Sound confusing? Lets take a look at the steps in depth below to solve the problem:  \n974 ÷ 5 =    \n\n| 1) Find the whole number. |\n| --- |\n| A. Type the problem in just like normal. |\n| B. 974 ÷ 5 |\n| C. This gives you a whole number of 194. |\n\n| 2) Find the amount you took away. |\n| --- |\n| A. Multiply the whole number (194) times your divisor (5) . |\n| B. 194 × 5 |\n| C. This gives you the amount you took away. Which in this example is 970. |\n\n| 3) Find the amount remaining. |\n| --- |\n| A. Take your original amount (974) and subtract the amount you took away (970) . |\n| B. 974-970 |\n| C. This gives you the number remaining which is 4. |","cbCaifgIOhprhRkZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifgIOhprhRkZ","pdf",85336,"English","# Finding the Remainder\n## 1. Finding the whole number\n## 2.
