If a positive integer that is not a multiple of 5 is divided by 5, what is the least possible remainder

1 answer:

8 0

I would say 1 would be the least possible remainder...

11/5 = 2 remainder 1
21/5 = 4 remainder 1
31/5 = 3 remainder 1

and since ur dealing with positive integers (whole numbers), 1 is gonna be the smallest
