I tried with CSS, and or you need to use display: table or you need to use new css that is not yet supported on most browsers (2016).

So, I wrote a jquery plugin to do it for us, I am happy to share it:

$(document).ready(function () {
            $(".fillHight").fillHeight();
            $(".fillWidth").fillWidth();
        });

        window.onresize = function (event) {
            $(".fillHight").fillHeight();
            $(".fillWidth").fillWidth();
        }

        $.fn.fillHeight = function () {
            var siblingsHeight = 0;
            this.siblings("div").each(function () {
                siblingsHeight = siblingsHeight + $(this).height();
            });

            var height = this.parent().height() - siblingsHeight;
            this.height(height);
        };

 
        $.fn.fillWidth = function (){
            var siblingsWidth = 0;
            this.siblings("div").each(function () {
                siblingsWidth  += $(this).width();
            });

            var width =this.parent().width() - siblingsWidth;
            this.width(width);
        }

      * {
            box-sizing: border-box;
        }

        html {
        }

        html, body, .fillParent {
            height: 100%;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
