Ruby Example: Write a program to find the remainder without using the modulus (%) operator.
Submitted by Nidhi, on December 05, 2021

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will read two integer numbers from the user and then find the remainder without using the modulus "%" operator and print the result.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to find the remainder without using the modulus "%" operator is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to find the remainder 
# without using modulus (%) operator

num1=0
num2=0
rem=0

print "Enter number1: ";
num1 = gets.chomp.to_i;  

print "Enter number2: ";
num2 = gets.chomp.to_i;  

rem=num1-(num1/num2)*num2;

print "Remainder is: ",rem;

Output:

Enter number1: 8
Enter number2: 3
Subtraction is: 5

Explanation:

In the above program, we created three variables num1, num2, rem initialized with 0. Then we read values num1 and num2 from the user. After that, we found the remainder without using the modulus (%) operator and printed the result.
