C <stdlib.h> - ldiv() Function

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

Syntax

ldiv_t ldiv (long int numer, long 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 ldiv_t defined as follows:

struct ldiv_t { long quot; long rem; };

or 

struct ldiv_t { long rem; long quot; };

Example:

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

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

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

The output of the above code will be:

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