Hi all i am wondering how i would go about writing code to do long division
and show a remainder (instead of a decimal point).

thanks

this can be done as follows:
dim divisor as single, dividend as single
dim quotient as single, remainder as single
'assume that value to be divided is in txtdividend.text
'assume that value to divide by is in txtdivisor.text
divisor = val(txtdivident.text)
dividend = val(txtdividend.text)
quotient = int(dividend/divisor)
remainder = dividend - quotient * divisor
'there may well be an easier way to do it but this works.
