[c] How to find the remainder of a division in C?

Which is the best way to find out whether the division of two numbers will return a remainder? Let us take for example, I have an array with values {3,5,7,8,9,17,19}. Now I need to find the perfect divisor of 51 from the above array. Is there any simpler way to solve this?

This question is related to c division

The answer is


All the above answers are correct. Just providing with your dataset to find perfect divisor:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() 
{

int arr[7] = {3,5,7,8,9,17,19};
int j = 51;
int i = 0;

for (i=0 ; i < 7; i++) {
    if (j % arr[i] == 0)
        printf("%d is the perfect divisor of %d\n", arr[i], j);
}

return 0;
}

Use the modulus operator %, it returns the remainder.

int a = 5;
int b = 3;

if (a % b != 0) {
   printf("The remainder is: %i", a%b);
}
