4,998 of course !
Largest three digit number is 999 and we see that it is odd. One less than that is 998 and it is even and it is also three digits. No other 3 digit number is larger than 998 while being even.

The greatest product you can achieve by multiplying a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number is 9720, which comes from multiplying 972 (the largest 3-digit number less than 1000 when divided by 9) by 9 (the largest 1-digit number). Thus, the factors are 972 and 9.
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.
