2Why do you think it should be 7? – Ozgur Vatansever Sep 02 '16 at 07:28

0.7 is the correct [answer](https://www.google.com/#q=21.1%20mod%2010.2&rct=j) – B001ᛦ Sep 02 '16 at 07:29

1I don't think this is a duplicate - the answer is 0.7 not 7. 21.1 divided by 10.2 is 2 with remainder 0.7 – TerryA Sep 02 '16 at 07:29

It will be .7 only.
If you divide 21.1 by 10.2 the reminder will be .7.
21.2 % 10.2
It could be explain like simple divide of the nos.
10.2 * 2 = 20.4
21.1 - 20.4 = .7
Hope it will help.

But if we do this 212/102 the reminder will be 7 and 212/102 is equal to 21.2/10.2. Also if we do this using basic mathematics multiplying and dividing by 10 then reminder will be 7.Then why is the remainder 7? – Sashakt Pathak Sep 02 '16 at 08:30

@SashaktPathak Just because the quotients are equal doesn't mean the remainders are. And by the way - the remainder of 212/102 is 8. Just think about it: The remainder of 100 / 90 is 10. Does that mean that the remainder of 10 / 9 is 10? No, that is clearly false. – juanpa.arrivillaga Sep 02 '16 at 08:53
