Given
for every positive integer a and b :
a = bq + r
where q and r are whole numbers .
a is a multiple of b .
To Find :
Value or r = ?
Solution :
∴It is given that 'a' is a multiple of b , so we can write that :
b divides a i.e . .
And hence when writing this using the Euclidean algorithm , we will write :
a = bq + r
So here r = 0 because if b divides a , then a remainder equal to 0 will be obtained .
So the value of r is 0
