Your code around line 32 looks like:
-------------------------
 if (Wdivide == 1);
  
{ 
   cout << "Please enter the dividend: ";
   cin >> dividend;
   cout << "\nPlease enter the divisor: ";
   cin >> divisor;
   quotient = Divide(dividend, divisor);
   divisor1 = divisor;
   dividend = dividend;  
   remainder = Remainder(dividend1, divisor1);
   cout << "\nThe answer is: ";
   cout << quotient;
   cout << " with a remainder of: ";
   cout << remainder << endl;
}
else

cout << "Would you like to multiply? 0-no, 1-yes: ";
--------------------------------------------

You need to eliminate the semicolon after the `if' line.  Otherwise it
reads as "if Wdivide == 1 then do nothing", the following code is
executed always, and the else makes no sense.

You probably also need to put braces around the else block.  Currently
it is only the "Would you like to multiply" line.

And lastly, might I suggest you use a more readable indentation style.

Btw, generic language questions are more on-topic in places like
comp.lang.c++.
