AnswerFor a division problem between two whole numbers, A remainder can be any whole number that is less than the divisor. If the remainder is equal to the divisor, then the quotient is not large enough.

Think of this problem: how many times will 3 go into 10. So you can have 3 groups of 3, with 1 left over (the remainder). If you chose to have only 2 groups of 3, then there will be 6 with 4 left over. Clearly you can make one more group of 3 from the 4, and have 1 left over.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
