What is the remainder of 875/3?

Here we will explain and find the remainder of the fraction 875/3.

We like this exercise, because we think math learners will better understand fractions in general by finding the remainder of fractions such as 875/3.

The fraction 875/3 has a numerator and denominator. The numerator is 875 (above the fraction line) and the denominator is 3 (below the fraction line).

Furthermore, the numerator (875) 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 875 parts. So the question becomes, "How many wholes can you make with 875 parts and how many leftovers will you have?"

You can make a total of 291 wholes by using 873 parts. You can't make more wholes than that, because then you would go over 875 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 875/3. Therefore the answer is 2.

Here is the math to clarify what we explained above:

3 fits fully 291 times into 875.

291 times 3 equals 873.

875 minus 873 = 2 remainder.
