What is the remainder of 84/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 84/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 84/3.

The fraction 84/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 84 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (84) 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 84 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 84 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 28 wholes by using 84 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 84 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 84/3. Therefore the answer is 0.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 28 times into 84.

28 times 3 equals 84.

84 minus 84 = 0 remainder.
