How to Find Remainder in Calculator?

Use the modulo key if your calculator has one: enter the dividend, the modulo symbol, then the divisor

If there is no modulo key, divide the numbers and note the decimal result

Multiply the whole-number quotient by the divisor

Subtract that product from the dividend

The result is the remainder

For example, 17 ÷ 5 = 3.4, so 17 − (3 × 5) = 2

On some scientific calculators, use the integer part of the quotient to find the remainder

If your calculator supports functions like INT, FLOOR, or MOD, use MOD directly when available
