Quotient and Module of Division

Introduction

In this lab, we will explore how to use the divmod function in JavaScript to get the quotient and remainder of a division operation. We will learn how to implement this function using the Math.floor() and modulo operators, and use it to perform various division operations. By the end of this lab, you will have a solid understanding of how to use this function to solve problems involving division in your JavaScript programs.

Code Practice: Quotient and Module of Division

To practice coding, open the Terminal/SSH and type node. This code returns an array that consists of the quotient and remainder of the given numbers.

To get the quotient of the division x / y, use Math.floor(). To get the remainder of the division x / y, use the modulo operator (%).

const divmod = (x, y) => [Math.floor(x / y), x % y];

For example:

divmod(8, 3); // [2, 2]
divmod(3, 8); // [0, 3]
divmod(5, 5); // [1, 0]
