What would happen if the quotient were less than one is that the number would become a decimal. It's basic fifth grade math.
the quotient would be wrong
You will get a quotient that is a positive number less than 10.
The quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. So 3 doesn't have a quotient unless another number is being involved in the division. The 4 is not that number since it is substracted from the quotient you get afterwards. Examples: 4 less than the quotient of 9 and 3 would be -1 (9/3=3; 3-4=-1) 4 less than the quotient of 6 and 3 would be -2 (6/3=2; 2-4 = -2)
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
The remainder is less than the divisor because if the remainder was greater than the divisor, you have the wrong quotient. In other words, you should increase your quotient until your remainder is less than your divisor!
less than
what would happen to a car if its reaction force was less than the weight
The quotient will be less than one.
The quotient is less than the fraction.
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
Greater the divisor is less than 1,so the quotient is greater than the dividend
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
