Question

Which of the following shows the possible remainders when a number is divided by 5?

• A. 0, 1, 5
• B. 5, 6, 7, 8
• C. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
• D. 1, 2, 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

When a number is divided by 5, all the numbers less than 5 (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4) are the possible remainders.

When a number is completely divided by 5, the remainder is 0.

Whereas, when a number is not completely divided by 5, the possible remainders are 1, 2, 3 and 4.
