Question

Any number in which remainder is greater than divisor

Open in App
Solution

If a remainder is more than divisor, latter can go one more time and hence division is not complete. Even if remainder is equal to divisor, it can still go one more time. Hence remainder has to be less than the divisor. Therefore no there can be no such number

For example, 50/3 is 16, with remainder of 2. Three 16’s give 48, and 2 more are needed to make 50. The mixed number form is just 16 2/3 (the remainder 2, divided by the divisor, 3). That’s the “official” answer, if there were such a thing (and one important fact is that with this restriction, there is one and only oneway of representing the answer this way).
