Q1 of 76 Page 13

Using division algorithm, find the quotient and remainder of the following pairs.

(i) 10, 3 (ii) 5, 12 (iii) 27, 3

(i) 10,3


We write the given pair in the form a = bq + r, 0 r<b as follows.


10 = 3(3) + 1[3 divides 10 three time and leaves the remainder 1]


quotient = 3; remainder = 1


(ii) 5,12


We write the given pair in the form a = bq + r, 0 r<b as follows.


5 = 12(0) + 5 [12 divides 5 Zero time and leaves the remainder 5]


quotient = 0; remainder = 5


(iii) 27,3


We write the given pair in the form a = bq + r, 0 r<b as follows.


27 = 3(9) + 0 [3 divides 27 Nine time and leaves the remainder 1]


quotient = 3; remainder = 0
