DIV(3) Library Functions Manual DIV(3)

div — compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division

#include <stdlib.h>

div_t div(int numer, int denom);

The div() function computes the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom . If the division is inexact, the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented, the behaviour is undefined; otherwise, quot * denom + rem will equal numer .

The div() function returns a structure of type div_t , comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the following members, in any order:

int
quot;
/* quotient */
int
rem;
/* remainder */
