What is the remainder of 479/10?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 479/10.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 479/10.

The fraction 479/10 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 479 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 10 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (479) is the part and the denominator (10) is the whole. In other words, to create a whole you need 10 parts. In this case, you have 479 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 479 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 47 wholes by using 470 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 479 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 479/10. Therefore the answer is 9.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

10 fits fully 47 times into 479.

47 times 10 equals 470.

479 minus 470 = 9 remainder.
