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.

The divisor is 9. quotient x divisor + remainder = dividend ⇒ quotient x divisor = dividend - remainder ⇒ divisor = (dividend - remainder) ÷ quotient = (53 - 8) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
