In division why should the remainder not be greater than the divisor?
The problem would not end
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.
How do you determine remainder of divisor of 63?
To determine the remainder when dividing 63 by a divisor, you need to perform the division and look at the remainder. For example, if you divide 63 by 5, the remainder is 3. However, if you divide it by 7, the remainder is 0.
What would the divisor and the quotient be if the dividend is 80 and the remainder is 2?
I dontknow
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 write 43 remainder 2 as a decimal?
To write 43 remainder 2 as a decimal, divide 43 by the divisor. In this case, if we divide 43 by 10, the quotient is 4 with a remainder of 3. So, 43 remainder 2 as a decimal would be written as 43.2.
Write 21 7 as a mixed number?
21/7 so you will divide 7 into 21; 7/21= 3 the quotient is 3, the remainder is 0, the divisor is 7; answer is ...3 0/7 If the question was write 8/5 as a mixed number you would divide 5 into 8. 5 is the divisor, 1 is the quotient, 3 is the remainder. The answer to that is 1 3/5. Remainder Quotient Divisor 1 3/5.
How do you convert remainders to decimals?
Say for example you have 16/5.In remainders, the answer would be 3r1. Now you have to divide the remainder by the divisor So for example: 1/5=0.2 Now you have to place the 3 from the answer we got from the remainder in front of the 0.2 answer: 3.2
In modular arithmetic must the modular always be greater than the remainder?
Yes, because that is how remainder is defined. If the remainder was bigger, you would subtract one (or more) modular values until the remainder became smaller than the modulus.
