When a whole number a is divided by a non-zero whole number b, then there exists whole numbers q and r
such that a = bq + r, where r = ......... or r < .............

Solution

Let a be dividend and b is the divisor. If q is the quotient and r is the remainder, then by division algorithm
a = bq + r, where r = 0 or r < b
Hence, r = 0 or r < b.
