remainders
Division's orphaned portions
Remainders are what's left over after division or subtraction.
In arithmetic, dividing 7 by 3 leaves a remainder of 1.
More broadly, remainders are whatever portion survives after the main part is gone: the remainders of dinner, the sad remainders of a lost civilization.
In publishing, remainders are unsold books sold at steep discount to clear inventory: The novel ended up on the remainder table within a year.
