Question

Amrita is dividing a very large number by 4. What is the maximum remainder that she can get?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) We can't say, it depends on how large the number is.
please explain why is option A) 3 is the answer. and why are others not the answer

Answer 1

Yeah the greatest remainder she can get is 3.

You can realise that 3 is the nearest number which is less than 4.

Why not 5, 6, 7?

If 5, or 6, or 7 is the remainder, the number still has a four in it. So, the remainder number cannot be greater that te divisor.

Hence, 3 is the greatest remainder we can get while dividing an whole number by 4.
