best formula to use
 

Hi*

What would be the best formula to use if i want to find out how much a
number would go into a number then the left over part

Eg

Q. 2000mm is the size and need to know how many times 76.2mm goes into
it

A. 26times which then leaves 18.8mm over

Thank you*

best formula to use
 

With 2000 in A1 and 76.2 in B1

=INT(A1/B1)

will return 26

the rest

=MOD(A1,B1)

I think you would need two formulas but maybe someone else will get clever.

=ROUND(2000/76.2,0) reurns 26

=2000-76.2*ROUND(2000/76.2,0) returns 18.8
