The greatest remainder when dividing by 3 is 2. When you divide any integer by 3, the possible remainders are 0, 1, or 2. For example, if you divide 7 by 3, the quotient is 2 and the remainder is 1, while dividing 8 by 3 gives a remainder of 2, which is the highest possible remainder for that divisor.

If the divisor of a division problem is 4 what number can be a remainder for that problem?
If the divisor of a division problem is 4, any number between 0 and 3 (inclusive) can be a remainder for that problem.
What does it mean for a divisor to divide evenly into a dividend?
It means that there is no remainder in the problem. For example 9/3=3. The nine is the dividend, and the first three is the divisor. There was no remainder, so it divided evenly.
What is the greatest remainder you could have with the divisor 3 the divisor 8 and the divisor 5?
The greatest remainder when dividing by a number is always one less than that number. Therefore, for the divisors 3, 8, and 5, the greatest remainders would be 2 (for 3), 7 (for 8), and 4 (for 5). Among these, the largest remainder is 7, which corresponds to the divisor 8.

Why should the remainder not be greater than the divisor?
It must be less else you have not divided properly; you could divide again 1 or more times!If the remainder is equal to the divisor (or equal to a multiple of the divisor) then you could divide again exactly without remainder. If the remainder is greater but not a multiple of the divisor you could divide again resulting in another remainder.E.g. Consider 9/2. This is 4 remainder 1. Let's say our answer was 3 remainder 3; as our remainder "3" is greater than the divisor "2" we can divide again so we have not carried out our original division correctly!
Which number is a reasonable remainder if the divisor is 7?
