C <stdlib.h> - div() Function

The C <stdlib.h> div() function computes both the quotient and the remainder of the division of the integral numerator numer by the integral denominator denom.

Syntax

div_t div (int numer, int denom);

Parameters

`numer`	Specify an integral value for numerator.
`denom`	Specify an integral value for denominator.

Return Value

Returns both the remainder and the quotient can be represented as objects of type div_t defined as follows:

struct div_t { int quot; int rem; };

or 

struct div_t { int rem; int quot; };

Example:

The example below shows the usage of <stdlib.h> div() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 
int main (){
  div_t result = div(50, 17);

  printf("div(50, 17) gives quotient = %d and remainder = %d\n",
         result.quot, result.rem);
  
  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

div(50, 17) gives quotient = 2 and remainder = 16
