Why can't the remainder be bigger than the divisor?
Because if the remainder is bigger than the divisor, the quotient can be increased and that will reduce the remainder. You can keep doing as long as the remainder is larger than the divisor. You stop only when it becomes smaller.
Is there a such thing as a remainder being bigger than the quotient?
Yes, certainly. A quotient is the result of division ( a divisor into a dividend). The remainder can be bigger than the quotient, but not bigger than the divisor. For example 130 divided by 20 =6 with remainder of 10. Here 6 is the quotient and remainder is 10, which is bigger than the quotient
How do you Use long division to divide 34,298 by 26, Then, select the true statement?
The answer is the remainder has a quotient of 14
What is the remainder an quotient of 8 152?
Remainder 8, quotient 0.
Which is the remainder for the quotient of 79 divided by 8?
9.875
What if your remainder is bigger than your answer?
Then divide the remainder again by the divisor until you get a remainder smaller than your divisor or an remainder equal to zero. The remainder in a division question should never be larger than the "divisor", but the remainder often is larger than the "answer" (quotient). For example, if 435 is divided by 63, the quotient is 22 and the remainder is 57.
What is the quotient and remainder of 805 divided by 98483?
Quotient 0, remainder 805. Note that you will always get this pattern when you divide a smaller number by a larger one - i.e., the quotient will be zero, and the remainder will be the dividend.

Can the remainder be more than the quotient?
Yes. The remainder cannot be more that the divisor but there is no issue with it being greater than the quotient. For example, if you divide 5 by 3, 5/3 = 1 and remainder 2 (out of 3) So you get quotient = 1, remainder = 2.

What is the remainder an quotient of 8 152?
Remainder 8, quotient 0.
What if the remainder is equal to or greater than the divisor what should you do?
Your quotient that you arrived at is too small. Increase the answer for the quotient, so that the remainder is from zero to (divisor minus one)
What will be the remainder for the quotient 421 and 6?
The remainder of the quotient of 421 and 6 is 1.
What is the quotient an remainder of 338 divided by 4?
84.5
What is the quotient and the remainder of 11 305?
11 / 305: quotient = 0, remainder = 11
Is a remainder ever larger than the divisor?
I think that a remainder can be larger than a divisor, but I'm not completely sure.
