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.

The divisor is 9. quotient x divisor + remainder = dividend ⇒ quotient x divisor = dividend - remainder ⇒ divisor = (dividend - remainder) ÷ quotient = (53 - 8) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9

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.
