What I need is two divs in following fashion:
[-width-of-content-][------------------remaining-width-of-page----------------------------]
I remember how in olden days it was a breeze to do this by using tables. But now tables are taboo, so how do I achieve this with div? I have been spending hours trying to figure this one out!
<div style='float:left;display:inline-block'> Hello</div>
<div style='float:left;width:100%''> THIS DIV BREAKS</div>

Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but I think you're trying to get this:
HTML:
<div class="right">Text goes here</div>
<div class="left">Text for the left div goes here</div>
CSS:
.right {
float:right;
background: #ddd;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 240px;
height: 100px;
}
.left {
background-color:#ccc;
height: 100px;
}

You only need to float the left element.
HTML
<div id="left">Hello yoyoyoy jrllo hello blah blah</div>
<div id="right"></div>
CSS
#left,#right{
height:50px;
}
#left{
background:red;
float:left;
}
#right{
background:green;
}

Sorry bro,.. my mistake... this one is more working :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">Width of content</div>

You could also achieve this using flexbox: http://jsfiddle.net/yr05wkuh/1/
This would keep your DIVs the same height, without requiring you to set a value.
CSS
.container {
display: flex;
}
.div1{
background-color:yellow;
}
.div2{
flex: 1 0;
background-color: red;
}
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="div1"> Hello</div>
<div class="div2"> THIS DIV BREAKS</div>
</div>
Here's a good resource: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

two divs side-by-side is impossible but this might work:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
width of content
<div class="col-sm-9">
Remaining width of page
</div>
</div>
</div>
hope it helped.. .
