What is the remainder of 817/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 817/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 817/3.

The fraction 817/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 817 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (817) 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 817 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 817 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 272 wholes by using 816 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 817 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 817/3. Therefore the answer is 1.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 272 times into 817.

272 times 3 equals 816.

817 minus 816 = 1 remainder.
