Division

The division operation must be seen as a separation of a number in smaller quantities in equal parts.

The division can be exact (separation of 10 elements in piles of 2) or have a remainder (separation of 10 elements in piles of 3, 1 element remaining), the latter is also called Euclidean division.

dCode has a tool for realizing the Euclidean division (with details of calculations).

Example: 10 divided by 5 is denoted 10/5 or 10÷5 or $ \frac{10}{5} $ is equal to 2, as it is possible to divide 10 into 2 equal parts of size 5.

Example: 10 divided by 4 is noted 10/4 or 10÷4 or $ \frac{10}{4} $ is equal to 2.5 (2 and a half) because it is possible to make 2 piles of 4 and a pile of 2 (a half pile of 4)

In the case of a non-exact division, it is possible to round the value with a certain number of digits after the decimal point.

DCode uses arbitrary precision calculation algorithms to obtain exact values when dividing big numbers, without scientific notation (billions, trillions and more), up to 1 million digits.

An entire division is similar to a Euclidean division, the principle is not to calculate after the decimal point and to define a remainder.

Example: $ 14/3 = 4 $ remainder $ 2 $
