The divisor is 9. quotient x divisor + remainder = dividend ⇒ quotient x divisor = dividend - remainder ⇒ divisor = (dividend - remainder) ÷ quotient = (53 - 8) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
14. The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the divisor.

28. It is always one less than the divisor.
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.

What is the largest remainder possible if the divisor is 10
% cannot be a reminder if the divisor is 5, so the question is based on an error.
The divisor is 9. quotient x divisor + remainder = dividend ⇒ quotient x divisor = dividend - remainder ⇒ divisor = (dividend - remainder) ÷ quotient = (53 - 8) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the number of the divisor, so it is 5.
Any
62. One less than the divisor.
The largest remainder will be one less than the divisor. 7 - 1 = 6.
14. The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
5. The remainder will never be more than the divisor.
