What is the remainder of 78/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 78/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 78/3.

The fraction 78/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 78 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (78) 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 78 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 78 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 26 wholes by using 78 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 78 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 78/3. Therefore the answer is 0.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 26 times into 78.

26 times 3 equals 78.

78 minus 78 = 0 remainder.
