What's the difference between remainder and residue?

Remainder


Definition:

  • (n.) Anything that remains, or is left, after the separation and removal of a part; residue; remnant.
  • (n.) The quantity or sum that is left after subtraction, or after any deduction.
  • (n.) An estate in expectancy, generally in land, which becomes an estate in possession upon the determination of a particular prior estate, created at the same time, and by the same instrument; for example, if land be conveyed to A for life, and on his death to B, A's life interest is a particuar estate, and B's interest is a remainder, or estate in remainder.
  • (a.) Remaining; left; left over; refuse.

Residue


Definition:

  • (n.) That which remains after a part is taken, separated, removed, or designated; remnant; remainder.
  • (n.) That part of a testeator's estate wwhich is not disposed of in his will by particular and special legacies and devises, and which remains after payment of debts and legacies.
  • (n.) That which remains of a molecule after the removal of a portion of its constituents; hence, an atom or group regarded as a portion of a molecule; -- used as nearly equivalent to radical, but in a more general sense.
  • (n.) Any positive or negative number that differs from a given number by a multiple of a given modulus; thus, if 7 is the modulus, and 9 the given number, the numbers -5, 2, 16, 23, etc., are residues.
