Java Program to Find Quotient and Remainder

This article is created to cover a program in Java that calculates the quotient and remainder value while dividing a number with another.

Before creating the program, let's remind all the terms such as Divisor, Quotient, Dividend, Remainder, using following figure:

Here the Dividend can also be referred as Numerator, and Divisor can also be referred as Denominator.

Find Quotient and Remainder in Java

The question is, write a Java program to find and print the quotient and the remainder value. The data say dividend and divisor must be received by user at run-time. The program given below is answer to this question:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class fresherearth
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      float numerator, denominator;
      int quotient, remainder;
      Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
      
      System.out.print("Enter the Dividend: ");
      numerator = s.nextFloat();
      System.out.print("Enter the Divisor: ");
      denominator = s.nextFloat();
      
      quotient = (int) (numerator/denominator);
      remainder = (int) (numerator%denominator);
      
      System.out.println("\nQuotient = " +quotient);
      System.out.println("Remainder = " +remainder);
   }
}

Here is its sample run with user input 21 as dividend and 8 as divisor:

When dividing the number 21 by 8, we will get 2 as quotient and 5 as remainder. That is, 8 (divisor) * 2 (quotient) + 5 (remainder) = 21 (dividend).
