What's the difference between residue and residuum?

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.

Residuum


Definition:

  • (n.) That which is left after any process of separation or purification; that which remains after certain specified deductions are made; residue.

Example Sentences:
