Question

Can the remainder in a division problem ever equal the divisor? explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Lets imagine we have 8/2. We all know the answer is 4, because if i have 8 objects and i want to divide them equally amond 2 ppl, each will get 4 objects. However, if the remainder would equal the divisor, one would say 8/2= 4 remainder 4. This means that one person succesfully got the 8 objects, and there are 4 left. But each person needs 4 objects, so the remaining objects can fully satisfy mathematical inductive perpectives, so the person may take the full 4 objects

Answer 2

No, cause the remainder might be bigger than divisor.
