# How I can change the numbering of Remark in my thesis?

In my thesis, all definitions, theorems and lemmas are numbered like #chapter.#section.#definition/theorem/lemma. For example, the first definition in the second section of the first chapter would be Definition 1.2.1.

Except for Remarks, it is not like that. I get Remark 1, Remark 2 ,... See the following picture:

Now I am asked to style Remark like the other ones. How to do that?

## 1 Answer

Your definition of remark appears to be in some other package, but you want to define it as something like, following your other theorem definitions,

\theoremstyle{remark}
\newtheorem{rem}{Remark}[section]

The [section] option after the second argument numbers your remarks per section.

• @user9272398 Could you please be more descriptive? You’d have to replace {rem} with the theorem environment you were actually using, or switch to \begin{rem}. Since there’s no MWE, I needed to guess what name that was. – Davislor Dec 21 '20 at 17:36
