    Sometimes this remainder is added to the quotient as a fractional part, so 10 / 3 is equal to ⁠3 + 1 / 3 ⁠ or 3.33..., but in the context of integer division, where numbers have no fractional part, the remainder is kept separately (or exceptionally, discarded or rounded). [5] When the remainder is kept as a fraction, it leads to a rational ...
