Question

17=6×2+5 is compared with Euclid's division lemma a=bq+r,then which number is representing the remainder?

Answer 1

5 because the formula of euclid's division lemma is a=bq + r

where q = quotient & r= remainder so 5 is representing the remainder in this statement

Answer 2

Answer:

Remainder = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

According to Euclid's division lemma

If x and y are two non negative integers such that x > y and y ≠ 0 then their exist q and r such that

x = y×q + r         where r = 0 or r < y

Here q is called quotient and r is called remainder

In our case

17 = 6 × 2 + 5

Here

x = 17   ,   y = 6   , q = 2 and r = 5

so

Remainder is 5 and quotient is 2
