What is the remainder of 831/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 831/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 831/3.

The fraction 831/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 831 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (831) 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 831 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 831 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 277 wholes by using 831 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 831 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 831/3. Therefore the answer is 0.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 277 times into 831.

277 times 3 equals 831.

831 minus 831 = 0 remainder.
