Java Program to Find Quotient and Remainder

In this article, we will write a Java program to find Quotient and Remainder, when one number is divided by another number.

Example: Program to find Quotient and Remainder

In the following program we have two integer numbers num1 and num2 and we are finding the quotient and remainder when num1 is divided by num2, so we can say that num1 is the dividend here and num2 is the divisor.

public class JavaExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int num1 = 15, num2 = 2;
        int quotient = num1 / num2;
        int remainder = num1 % num2;
        System.out.println("Quotient is: " + quotient);
        System.out.println("Remainder is: " + remainder);
    }
}

Output:

To compute the quotient and remainder we have created two variables with the name quotient and remainder respectively.

To find the quotient we divide the num1 by num2 using / operator. Since both the variables num1 & num2 are integers, the result will be integer despite the fact that the result of 15/2 is 7.5 mathematically. So the value assigned to the variable quotient after the operation is 7.

To find the remainder, we use the % operator. The remainder of 15/2 i.e 1 is assigned to the variable remainder after operation.

At the end of the program the values of variables quotient and remainder are printed.
