resiDUE something that remains after the completion of a process. So when a procedure is done or complete what is left  is DUE to give a specific result.

resiDUAL is generally a quantity left over at the end of a process.

I remember this because of the word DUAL means two and in order to have something left thre must be more than one to take away from.
