Question

what are the possible values of remainder r, when a positive integers "a" is divided by 3​

Answer 1

Hey dear,
We know by EDA,
a = bq +r
Substituting b = 3,
we get r = 0, 1 or 2
The possible values of remainder r when a positive integer a is divided by 3 are 0, 1 or 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

0,1,2

Step-by-step explanation:

let a be any positive integer

q=3 d=a

therefore

r =0,1,2

possible cases:

3a+0

3a+1

3a+2

3a+3 is not possible because

3(a+1)

therefore

possible reaminders are

= 0,1,2.
