What is the largest possible remainder for a math problem with 3 as the divisor?
Apparently, you're only using whole numbers in your division. In that case, the largest possible remainder is two (2).
What is the largest possible remainder for a math problem with 2 for a divisor?
1. The divisor is the second number in a division problem. For instance 6 / 3 = 2. In this example, the divisor is 3. If you have a divisor of X, then the largest remainder possible is X-1. This is because if you had one more number in the remainder, it would form a complete count, and the remainder would go away. In the case of 2 as your divisor, think of the number 11. 11 / 2 has a remainder of 1. However, if you had one more in the remainder, you'd have 2, and that would be a complete division. (Also, the number you have to be 12.) And there would be no remainder.
What is the greatest possible remainder for a divisor of 76 and a dividend of any number?
The greatest possible remainder for 76 is to be divided by 2 leaving the result of 38. Thank you!
How do you turn a remainder into a mix number?
Divide the remainder by the divisor. Example: 5 / 2 = 2 and 1/2.
When division of 2 numbers leaves a remainder 0then the dividend is called the of the divisor?
It is called a multiple of the divisor.
