No, if you have a remainder larger than your whole number, you must have divided incorrectly. very good

What is the largest possible number for the remainder if a whole number is divided by 6?
The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the number of the divisor, so it is 5.
What number will have a remainder when it's divided by 7?
23. There are many others. Any number larger than 7 that is not directly divisible by 7 will have a remainder, for example, 8 / 7 = 1 remainder 1, 9 / 7 = 1 remainder 2. But 14, 21, 28 etc, which are all directly divisible by 7, all have whole numbers as an answer (no remainders).
Smallest whole number larger than 110?
111
Is the square of the number always larger than the number?
Yes, if it is a whole number but not if it is a fraction
What happens when you divide a whole number by a fraction larger than one?
The result could be a whole number or a fraction. But whatever it is, it's smaller than the original whole number.
Why is 8 a factor of 32?
4/8=0.5 The factors of a whole number are whole numbers by which the given number can be divided without any remainder. No whole number larger than 4 can be divided into 4, so 8, being larger than 4, cannot be a factor of 4.
Which statement is true when a whole number is multiplied by an improper fraction?
The only thing which is clear is that the product will be a rational number.It can be a whole number or a mixed number;It can be larger than, equal to or smaller than the mixed number;It can be larger than or smaller than the whole number.
What is the largest possible number for the remainder if a whole number is divided by 6?
The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the number of the divisor, so it is 5.
Is a remainder ever larger than the divisor?
I think that a remainder can be larger than a divisor, but I'm not completely sure.

Why does the remainder be greater then the divvisor?
The remainder can be greater than the divisor when the dividend is significantly larger than the divisor. In division, the remainder is the amount that is left over after dividing the dividend by the divisor. If the dividend is much larger than the divisor, it is likely that the remainder will also be larger than the divisor.
Can the remainder be larger than the divisor?
No.
What is greatest possible whole number remainder if you divide any number by W explain.?
It is W - 1. If the remainder is greater than or equal to W, then you can subtract W from the remainder and increase the quotient by 1.
What if your remainder is bigger than your answer?
Then divide the remainder again by the divisor until you get a remainder smaller than your divisor or an remainder equal to zero. The remainder in a division question should never be larger than the "divisor", but the remainder often is larger than the "answer" (quotient). For example, if 435 is divided by 63, the quotient is 22 and the remainder is 57.
