#### NAME

> ldiv, lldiv - compute quotient and remainder of a long division

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``#include <stdlib.h>
> ldiv_t ldiv(long` numer`, long` denom`);
> lldiv_t lldiv(long long` numer`, long long` denom`);
> ``

#### DESCRIPTION

> [CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

> These functions shall compute the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. If the division is inexact, the resulting quotient is the long integer (for the ldiv() function) or long long integer (for the lldiv() function) of lesser magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise, quot * denom+rem shall equal numer.

#### RETURN VALUE

> The ldiv() function shall return a structure of type ldiv_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure shall include the following members, in any order:

>     long   quot;    /* Quotient */
>     long   rem;     /* Remainder */

> The lldiv() function shall return a structure of type lldiv_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure shall include the following members, in any order:

>     long long   quot;    /* Quotient */
>     long long   rem;     /* Remainder */

#### ERRORS

> No errors are defined.

The following sections are informative.

#### EXAMPLES

> None.

#### APPLICATION USAGE

> None.

#### RATIONALE

> None.

#### FUTURE DIRECTIONS

> None.

#### SEE ALSO

> div

> XBD <stdlib.h>

#### CHANGE HISTORY

> First released in Issue 4. Derived from the ISO C standard.

#### Issue 6

> The lldiv() function is added for alignment with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard.
