What is the remainder of 697/5?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 697/5.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 697/5.

The fraction 697/5 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 697 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 5 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (697) is the part and the denominator (5) is the whole. In other words, to create a whole you need 5 parts. In this case, you have 697 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 697 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 139 wholes by using 695 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 697 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 697/5. Therefore the answer is 2.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

5 fits fully 139 times into 697.

139 times 5 equals 695.

697 minus 695 = 2 remainder.
