# How to divide larger number by smaller

 I am trying to divide the larger number in this problem by the smaller number and print the answer in a quotient form. I have done the code to where it will print the correct answer, but I am wondering how to divide the larger by smaller number. Do I use an if statement? case 1: int number1; int number2; System.out.println("Please enter your first number"); number1 = s.nextInt(); System.out.println("Please enter your second number"); number2 = s.nextInt(); int quotient = number1 / number2; int remainder = number1 % number2; if(number1 > number2 || number2 > number1) { System.out.println("Quotient = " + quotient + "r" + remainder); } break; 
 maybe something like that: int smallerNumber; int biggerNumber; System.out.println("Please enter your first number"); smallerNumber = s.nextInt(); int temp; System.out.println("Please enter your second number"); temp = s.nextInt(); smallerNumber=Math.min(temp,smallerNumber); biggerNumber=Math.max(temp,smallerNumber);  Or using array and then sort it: List arr= new ArrayList<>(2); System.out.println("Please enter your first number"); arr.add( s.nextInt()); System.out.println("Please enter your second number"); arr.add( s.nextInt()); Collections.sort(arr); //now arr.get(0) is smaller and arr.get(1) is bigger
