Quarter counter (kotlin)

Question

Ok, so first off I want to say that I am a newer programmer and I'm self taught. I'm currently trying to wrap my mind around how I would make a program (I'm using Kotlin) that would count the number of quarters out of a give value, and state the left over change.

so if I type input: 1.45

output will tell me:

5 quarters

0.20 Change

Now, I have done research on void methods, but I'm still confused on what that looks like. would anyone be willing to help me out on how id get started with this?

I mean like a quarter in terms of USD. So if you have $1.40 / $0.25 (quarter) = 5 Quarters and $0.20 left over. So I'm trying to make something that counts currency. I already have a weak code that calculates the math, but I need the number of quarters and left over change separated on 2 different lines of output.

You can do println to put each of the outputs on seperate lines

fun main() {
    change(1.25)
    changeWithNames(1.25)
}

fun change(x: Double) {
    println(x.div(0.25).toInt()) // toInt to cut off the remainder
    println(x.rem(0.25).toFloat()) // toFloat so that it rounds to the nearest hundreds place
}

fun changeWithNames(x: Double) {
    println("${"%s".format(x.div(0.25).toInt())} quarters")
    println("${"%.2f".format(x.rem(0.25))} Change")
}

fun changeWithDimes(x: Double) {
    var q = x.div(0.25).toInt() // Quarters
    var d = x.rem(0.25).div(0.10).toInt() // Dimes
    var rem = (x - (q * 0.25 + d * 0.10)).toFloat() // Remainder
    println(q) 
    println(d)
    println(rem)
}
