Question

True or False : The Remainder is always smaller than the quotient​

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder is always less than the divisor. If the remainder is greater than the divisor, it means that the division is incomplete. It can be greater than or lesser than the quotient. For example; when 41 is divided by 7, the quotient is 5 and the remainder is 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

The remainder is always smaller than the quotient is FALSE

Explanation:

• The Remainder can be defined as a leftover part of something. In the division that is an arithmetic operation, we divide different terms.
• The one which remains is known as the remainder.
• Similarly, the quotient is a part of the division process. It refers to the number that we obtain as a result after dividing numbers.
• It is not necessary that the remainder has to be less than the quotient for example if we divide 41 by 7, we will get the remainder as 6 and the quotient as 5.
• Hence the remainder can be or cannot be smaller than the quotient.
