Are remainders and decimals the same? - Answers

no, remainder is left after division and decimal is any number with a decimal (point) in betweenNo. Remainders are the 'left overs' of an imperfect division of a number. Such as ten divided by three would be three, remainder oneDecimals are the 'fractional' part of a number after the decimal point which would be less than a whole number.A remainder left after division is actually a common fraction. The numerator is the remainder and the denominator is the divisor. Any common fraction can be converted into a decimal fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator, so remainders can be decimals added to the quotient. As examples, dividing 49 by 14 gives a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 7, which can also be written as 3 7/14 and simplified to 3 1/2 or converted to 3.5. Similarly, 114 divided by 10 gives a quotient of 11 and a remainder of 4, which can also be written 11 4/10 and simplified to 11 2/5 or converted to 11.4
