Question

if a positive integer P is divided by 3 then find the possible remainder

Answer 1

I think it will be zero or more than zero

Answer 2

Answer:

The possible values for remainder = 0, 1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the positive integer p

The number by which the given positive integer p is divided is given to be 3

Now, by using division algorithm, We have

a = b·q + r

where a is dividend , b is divisor, q is quotient and r is remainder

Also, Remainder < Divisor

So, here 3 is the divisor

⇒ Remainder < 3

Hence, The possible values for remainder = 0, 1 and 2
