Apparently, you're only using whole numbers in your division. In that case, the largest possible remainder is two (2).
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.
The greatest possible remainder for 76 is to be divided by 2 leaving the result of 38. Thank you!
Divide the remainder by the divisor. Example: 5 / 2 = 2 and 1/2.
It is called a multiple of the divisor.

The possible number of remainders is always one less than the divisor.
No because it will have a remainder of 2
The answer depends on what the divisor is.
Put the remainder on top of the divisor and that is the fraction. Remember that a number which divides the other number is known as the divisor. So if we have 4 divided by 2, then 2 is the divisor and 4 is the dividend.
Divide the remainder by the divisor. Example: 5 / 2 = 2 and 1/2.
you take your remainder and divide it by your divisor 9 divided by 4 = 2, remainder 1 the divisor is 4, so 1/4 = .25 therefore 2 + .25 = 2.25
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!
There can be no answer without information about the divisor.
