The remainder is the number that is left over after the initial value has been divided as much as it can. If any numbers greater than 48 were present as a remainder, then these could be divided further into 48. If 48 is present as the remainder, then this can be divided by 48 to give 1, leaving no remainder. Thus, the largest possible remainder if the divisor is 48 is 47.

14. The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
Well, let's see. So we can try 285/9 It is 31 with 6 as it's remainder. You know that the dividend is the largest number, and the divisor would be less than the dividend. Since the divisor can't be any smaller than the remainder so would the dividend. Because it will be the only LARGEST number in the division equation.
7 because if the remainder was 8, you could just divide it one more time
Well, darling, when you divide any number by 5, the largest remainder you can get is 4. Why? Because when you divide by 5, the remainders can only be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. So, if you wanna keep it simple and sassy, the largest remainder with a divisor of 5 is 4.
