REMAINDER Meaning and Definition

  1. The term "remainder" refers to the quantity or part that remains after subtraction or division has been carried out. It is the leftover part that is not evenly divisible or accounted for by a given number, amount, or quantity.

    In mathematics, specifically in arithmetic and algebra, when two numbers are divided, the remainder is the amount that cannot be evenly divided or divided without leaving a fraction or decimal. It represents the difference between the dividend and the divisor multiplied by the quotient. For example, when 10 is divided by 3, the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1, because 3 multiplied by 3 equals 9, and the difference between 10 and 9 is 1.

    The term "remainder" can also be used in the context of sets and groups. In set theory, the remainder refers to the elements that are left after removing or excluding a specific subset or group. For instance, if a set contains the numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, and we remove the numbers {2, 4}, then the remainder would be {1, 3, 5}.

    In general usage, the word "remainder" can also refer to what is left after the majority or larger part has been taken or used. It indicates the surplus or leftover part of a whole or a set. This usage can be found in various contexts such as finance, business, and everyday life.

  2. That which is left or remains; in arith., the difference; remnant; residue; in law, an estate limited to lands and tenements after another estate in the same is determined.

Etymology of REMAINDER

The word "remainder" originates from the Old French word "remaindre", which was derived from the Latin word "remanere". "Remanere" is a combination of the prefix "re-" (meaning "back" or "again") and the verb "manere" (meaning "to stay" or "to remain"). Thus, the etymology of "remainder" suggests the idea of something that remains or stays back after the removal or subtraction of other parts.
