In division why should the remainder not be greater then the divisor?
If the remainder is greater than the divisor then you can divide it once more and get one more whole number and then have less remainders.
Is a remainder ever larger than the divisor?
I think that a remainder can be larger than a divisor, but I'm not completely sure.
Can the remanider in a division problem ever equal the divisor?
No, cause the remainder might be bigger than divisor.
How do you divide two numbers without division operator?
int dividend,divisor,remainder; int division(int p,int q){ int quotient=1; /*if divisor and diviend are equal then quotient=1*/ if(p==q){ remainder=0; return 1; } /*if dividend is smaller than divisor then remainder=dividend*/ if(p<q){ remainder=p; return 0; } /*shift left till divisor > dividend*/ while(p>=q){ q<<=1; quotient<<=1; } /*shift right for one time so that divisor become smaller than dividend*/ q>>=1; quotient>>=1; /*again call division recurcively*/ quotient+=division(p-q,divisor); return quotient; } int main(){ cout<<"\nEnter dividend:"; cin>>dividend; cout<<"\nEnter divisor:"; cin>>divisor; cout<<"\nQuotient:"<<division(dividend,divisor); cout<<"\nRemainder:"<<remainder; //system("pause"); return 0; }
Your quotient is 1 less than 27 divided by 9 you have no remainder what division fact are you?
10 \ 2
Is the remainder always greater than or less than the divisor?
It SHOULD always be less than the divisor... Otherwise your answer is wrong.
Why should the remainder be less than the divisor?
Because if the remainder is greater, then you could "fit" another divisor value into it. if they are equal, then you can divide it easily. Thus, the remainder is always lower than the divisor.
Can a divisor be less than a remainder?
No it shouldn't because the divisor should always be bigger.
Why is the remainder less than the divisor?
Because if the remainder is greater, then you could "fit" another divisor value into it. if they are equal, then you can divide it easily. Thus, the remainder is always lower than the divisor.
What is the greatest possible remainder if the divisor is 25?
24. It is always one less than the divisor.
Why cant six be the remainder of six?
If you divide correctly, the remainder will always be less 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 is the largest remainder you can have when you divide by 29?
28. It is always one less than the divisor.
Is the remainder greater than or less than the divisor?
less than
How big can a remainder be and why?
A remainder can be any non-negative number that is less than the divisor. If the remainder is bigger than the divisor, the divisor can go into it another one (or more) times until the remainder is brought into that range.
What is divided by 36 with remainder 51?
Nothing. The remainder has to be less than the divisor.
What is the largest remainder possible if the divisor is 63?
