Use simple math with integer division. quotient = numerator / denominator remainder = numerator - quotient*denominator #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int numerator = 10; int denominator = 3; int remainder = numerator - (numerator/denominator)*denominator; cout << remainder; return 0; }

while (dividend > divisor) dividend -= divisor; std::cout << "Remainder : " << dividend;
