Question

If b is any positive integer and a = 7, applying Euclid's division lemma (b = aq + r), the value of r can be:-
-1
6
7
8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Euclid's division Lemma states that for any two positive integers 'a' and 'b' there exist two unique whole numbers 'q' and 'r' such that , a = bq + r, where 0≤ r < b. Here, a= Dividend, b= Divisor, q= quotient and r = Remainder. Hence, the values 'r' can take 0≤ r < b.
