7 because if the remainder was 8, you could just divide it one more time
If you mean as in a whole number then it is 7
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.

If you divide by 8, the remainder can be any number from 0 to 7.
8 can go into 73 a total of 9 times with a remainder of 1. This is calculated by dividing 73 by 8, which equals 9 with a remainder of 1. The remainder represents what is left over after dividing as many times as possible.
When 5 goes into 43, it goes 8 times with a remainder of 3. This can be calculated by dividing 43 by 5, which equals 8 with a remainder of 3. The remainder represents the amount left over after dividing as evenly as possible.
