What is the remainder of 20/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 20/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 20/3.

The fraction 20/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 20 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (20) is the part and the denominator (3) is the whole. In other words, to create a whole you need 3 parts. In this case, you have 20 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 20 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 6 wholes by using 18 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 20 parts.

The difference between the parts you used to make as many wholes as possible, and how many parts you have total, is leftover parts. Furthermore, the leftover parts are the remainder of 20/3. Therefore the answer is 2.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 6 times into 20.

6 times 3 equals 18.

20 minus 18 = 2 remainder.
