If you're dividing a whole number by 2, then the greatest possible remainder is 1.
The greatest remainder when dividing by any number is one less than the number itself. The greatest remainder when dividing by 18 is therefore 17. EXAMPLE : 35 ÷ 18 = 1 and remainder 17.
It is 199.
7 because if the remainder was 8, you could just divide it one more time
Regardless of the dividend (the number being divided), no divisor can produce a remainder equal to, or greater than, itself..... dividing by 4 cannot result in a remainder of 5, for example, Therefore the only single-digit number which can return a remainder of 8 is 9. 35 ÷ 9 = 3 and remainder 8

The largest remainder would be 8, because if it were 9 you could divide the number once more. The largest remainder you can have is always one less than what you're dividing by. So if you're dividing by 10, your largest remainder is 9. If you're dividing by 100, it's 99. And so on.
