when any number p is divided by any number n then if q and r are
quotient and remainder respectively then
p=nq+r
here p=8 n=13
then 8=13q+r——————(1) ( r is 0 to 12)
13q=8-r————————(2)
now as 13q >=0
8-r >=0
r<=8
in (2) putting r=8
13q=0 or q=0
thus 8=0*13+8————(3)
on comparison of (1) and 3 we get
q=0 and r=7
Thus quotient= 0 and remainder=8
