Question

According to Euclid's division lemma, the remainder has to be the divisor.

• A. greater than
• B. lesser than
• C. equal to

Answer 1

The correct option is B lesser than

Euclid's division lemma states that, given positive integers $a$ and $b,$ there exist unique integers $q$ and $r$ satisfying $a=b\times q+r,$ where $0\le r<b.$ Here, $a$ is the dividend, $b$ is the divisor, $q$ is the quotient and $r$ is the remainder.
