How to Make Excel Calculate Division With Remainders

1. Launch Microsoft Excel and open a new, blank worksheet.
2. Enter the top number of a fraction or the number to the left of the division sign (the dividend) into cell A1. For the division problem '9/4,' type '9' (no quotes) and press 'Enter.'
3. Enter the bottom number of a fraction or the number to the right of the division sign (the divisor) into cell B1. If you are solving '9/4,' type '4' (no quotes) and press 'Enter.'
4. Use the Quotient function to find the integer portion of the result. Type the following into cell C1:=QUOTIENT(A1,B1)Press 'Enter.' For the problem '9/4,' you see a result of '2.'
5. Use the Mod function to find the remainder. Type the following into cell D1:=MOD(A1,B1)Press 'Enter.' If you are dividing 9 by 4, there is 1 left over, and you see a result of '1.'
6. Show the quotient and remainder in a single cell with the letter 'R' designating the remainder. Type the following into cell E1:=C1' R 'D1Press 'Enter.' For the division problem '9/4', you see '2 R 1.'
