There is no solution if the question asks for 'less than -1'. Suppose a is the largest number. Then we have -3+a<-1, so a<2. But then I can take the number x:=(a+2)/2. This number is still less than 2 (it is in the middle of 2 and a on the number line) and so -3+x<-1. But x>a, which contradicts a being the largest number satisfying the required property. If it's 'less than or equal to -1', you can take the number 2.
14. The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the number of the divisor, so it is 5.
The largest odd number less than 50 is 49. An odd number is any integer that cannot be divided evenly by 2, leaving a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. In this case, 49 divided by 2 equals 24 with a remainder of 1, making it the largest odd number less than 50.
The largest remainder will be one less than the divisor. 7 - 1 = 6.
Largest possible number: 9 2 1 Smallest possible number: 1 2 9
When the number is between 0 and 1, or less than -1
There is no such thing as a largest prime number as there are infinitely many, but the largest known prime is a Mersenne Prime (one less than a power of two) - 257,885,161- 1.
the result is a number less than the original number
