What is the remainder of 629/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 629/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 629/3.

The fraction 629/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 629 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (629) 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 629 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 629 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 209 wholes by using 627 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 629 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 629/3. Therefore the answer is 2.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 209 times into 629.

209 times 3 equals 627.

629 minus 627 = 2 remainder.
