In division why should the remainder not be greater than the divisor?

Why must the remainder be less than the divisor?

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!


What should you do if a remainder is equal to or greater than a divisor?

Increase the whole number by 1, and subtract the value of the remainder from the divisor. For example - if you had the total... 99 & 42/29.. you would rewrite it as 100 & 13/29


What is the largest possible remainder for a math problem with 2 for a divisor?

1. The divisor is the second number in a division problem. For instance 6 / 3 = 2. In this example, the divisor is 3. If you have a divisor of X, then the largest remainder possible is X-1. This is because if you had one more number in the remainder, it would form a complete count, and the remainder would go away. In the case of 2 as your divisor, think of the number 11. 11 / 2 has a remainder of 1. However, if you had one more in the remainder, you'd have 2, and that would be a complete division. (Also, the number you have to be 12.) And there would be no remainder.


Can the remainder be greater than the dividend?

Well, let's see. So we can try 285/9 It is 31 with 6 as it's remainder. You know that the dividend is the largest number, and the divisor would be less than the dividend. Since the divisor can't be any smaller than the remainder so would the dividend. Because it will be the only LARGEST number in the division equation.


What would the divisor and the quotient be if the dividend is 80 and the remainder is 2?

What is a non example of an divisor?

Well, honey, a non-example of a divisor would be something that cannot divide another number without leaving a remainder. So, if you're looking for a sassy answer, I'd say a non-example of a divisor is like trying to fit into skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner - it's just not gonna happen, sweetie.


What is the greatest possible remainder if the divisor is 63?

The greatest integer remainder for a division sum with a divisor of 63 would be 62 - for a number one fewer than an integer multiple of 63 - for example, 125/63 = 1 remainder 62.


What is the remainder in the division problem 154?

That would depend on the divisor of the dividend of 154 which has not been given.


How do you determine remainder of divisor of 63?

Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, to find the remainder of 63 divided by any number, you just divide 63 by that number, and whatever is left over is your remainder. For example, if you divide 63 by 7, you get 9 with no remainder because 7 goes into 63 evenly. But if you divide 63 by 8, you get 7 with a remainder of 7. Easy peasy!


How do you write 43 remainder 2 as a decimal?

That depends on what the divisor of the division sum is - without this information it's impossible to know how much of the whole the remainder of 2 represents.


When the quotient is 8 the divisor is 4 and the remainder is 3 the dividend is?

Oh, isn't that just a happy little math problem? When the quotient is 8, the divisor is 4, and the remainder is 3, we can use the formula: Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder. So, the dividend would be (4 x 8) + 3, which equals 35. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, math can be a peaceful and joyful experience.
