If you take any four consecutive numbers and divide them by 3, the remainders are as follows:
9/3 = 3
10/3 = 3 remainder 1
11/3 = 3 remainder 2
12/3 = 4
Therefore, the highest remainder you can have by dividing a whole number is 2.
That's not possible. The largest single-digit number by which you might divide is 9. And, by definition, the remainder is always LESS than the number by which you divide. Thus, the largest remainder you can get, when you divide by 9, is 8.
If you divide by 8, the remainder can be any number from 0 to 7.
The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the number of the divisor, so it is 5.
The largest remainder will be one less than the divisor. 7 - 1 = 6.
The largest remainder would be 8, because if it were 9 you could divide the number once more. The largest remainder you can have is always one less than what you're dividing by. So if you're dividing by 10, your largest remainder is 9. If you're dividing by 100, it's 99. And so on.
When you divide any integer by 11, the largest possible remainder you can get is 10. This is because when you divide a number by 11, the remainders can range from 0 to 10. In this case, if the number being divided is one less than a multiple of 11, the remainder will be the largest possible, which is 10.
That's not possible. The largest single-digit number by which you might divide is 9. And, by definition, the remainder is always LESS than the number by which you divide. Thus, the largest remainder you can get, when you divide by 9, is 8.
If you divide by 8, the remainder can be any number from 0 to 7.
The largest number that will divide into 28 42 and 70 with no remainder is 14.
14. The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
The largest possible remainder when dividing by any number N is N-1.
The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the number of the divisor, so it is 5.
No.
any number between 0 and 9.
The largest remainder will be one less than the divisor. 7 - 1 = 6.
The largest remainder would be 8, because if it were 9 you could divide the number once more. The largest remainder you can have is always one less than what you're dividing by. So if you're dividing by 10, your largest remainder is 9. If you're dividing by 100, it's 99. And so on.
