They very definitely are not! You cannot have a remainder that is larger than the divisor.

Furthermore, division by 6 cannot leave a remainder of 12 since 12 is divisible by 6!

When you divide by 3 are the only remainders you can get are 1 or 2?

1 & 2 are the only non-zero remainders you can get from dividing a whole number by 3.


When you divide by 4 are the only remainders you can get are 1 2 or 3?

the max remainder you can have when dividing by a number is that number minus 1 So 4 can only have 1, 2 and 3 as remainders. 9 can only have 1-8 and so on.


How many possible remainders are there if 4 is the divisor?

Only 3 non-zero remainders.1, 2, and 3 are the only possible non-zero remainders since any number greater than or equal to the divisor could also be divided, to result in a new quotient. A remainder of zero, means that the dividend is divisible by the divisor (the divisor is a factor of the number)


Why is any rational number terminating or repeating decimal?

A rational number is a number which can be represented as the ratio of two integers, p/q.Consider dividing p by q. Either the remainder becomes zero at some stage so that the decimal representation is terminating. Otherwise, there is a remainder. With the divisor q, the only possible remainders are integers between 1 and q-1. There are thus only q-1 possible different remainders after which the remainder is one that has appeared before. When that happens the pattern from the previous occurrence of that remainder will repeat.

Can an angle have infinite bisectors?

What number divided by 2 is not half of that number?

The only possible answer is 0. If you divide any other number by 2 you will always get half that number, as dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2.

What will go into 176 and 441 evenly?

factors of 176 are 11x2x2x2x2x1, factors of 441 are 7x7x3x3x1 so only 1 will go into both without remainders.
