remainder

In British aristocracy, term that denotes those who may inherit a peerage or baronetcy. The vast majority of peerages and baronetcies are limited to inheritance by the heirs male of the body of the first peer or baronet; the title cannot be inherited by a stepson or an adopted son. Special remainders are sometimes granted to others of the family (daughters, brothers or sisters, and the heirs male of their bodies), especially to military leaders (as was done for Nelson, Kitchener, Allenby, and Mountbatten).

remainder

Part left over when one number cannot be exactly divided by another. For example, the remainder of 11 divided by 3 is 2; the remainder may be represented as a fraction or decimal. Decimal remainders are either recurring (0.66666...), cyclic (0.37373737), or terminating (0.125).
