Problem
You're sharing a bag of candy with your friends: everyone gets the same number of whole pieces, and the ones that aren't enough to give each of them one more stay in the bag.
Write a function that takes how many pieces there are and how many friends there are, and returns how many stay in the bag. With 10 pieces and 4 friends, 2 are left. If there's less candy than friends, nobody gets any and all of it stays.
Examples
10, 4 → 2
