    The guests of the hotel paid $27, but also have $3 among their pockets at the story's end. Their assets are $3, and their liabilities are $27 ($30 = 27 + 3). Thus, the original total is accounted for. From the perspective of the hotel clerk, the hotel has $25 in assets and lost $5 in liabilities ($30 = 25 + 5).

    In this case, s is called the least absolute remainder. [3] As with the quotient and remainder, k and s are uniquely determined, except in the case where d = 2n and s = ± n. For this exception, we have: a = k⋅d + n = (k + 1)d − n. A unique remainder can be obtained in this case by some convention—such as always taking the positive value ...

    For example, 26 cannot be divided by 11 to give an integer. Such a case uses one of five approaches: Say that 26 cannot be divided by 11; division becomes a partial function. Give an approximate answer as a floating-point number. This is the approach usually taken in numerical computation.

    552: it is divisible by 3 and by 8. 25: The last two digits are 00, 25, 50 or 75. 134,250: 50 is divisible by 25. 26: It is divisible by 2 and by 13. [6] 156: it is divisible by 2 and by 13. Subtracting 5 times the last digit from 2 times the rest of the number gives a multiple of 26. (Works because 52 is divisible by 26.)

    3 37)1260257 111 Note carefully which place-value column these digits are written into. The 3 in the quotient goes in the same column (ten-thousands place) as the 6 in the dividend 1260257, which is the same column as the last digit of 111. The 111 is then subtracted from the line above, ignoring all digits to the right:
