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.

The largest remainder possible when a number is divided by 9 is 8. This is because when a number is divided by 9, the remainders can range from 0 to 8, inclusive. If the remainder were to be 9 or greater, it would imply that the divisor (9) goes into the number more than once, which contradicts the definition of a remainder.
