# remainderReportingOverflow(dividingBy:)

Returns the remainder after dividing this value by the given value, along with a Boolean value indicating whether overflow occurred during division.

## Declaration

```swift
func remainderReportingOverflow(dividingBy other: UInt32) -> (partialValue: UInt32, overflow: Bool)
```

## Return Value

Return Value A tuple containing the result of the operation along with a Boolean value indicating whether overflow occurred. If the overflow component is false, the partialValue component contains the entire remainder. If the overflow component is true, an overflow occurred during division and the partialValue component contains either the entire remainder or, if the remainder is undefined, the dividend.

## Discussion

Discussion Dividing by zero is not an error when using this method. For a value x, the result of x.remainderReportingOverflow(dividingBy: 0) is (x, true).
