When a number is divided by its factor, the remainder will be ______.
Answer:
0(zero)
- Remember: When a number divides another number exactly, then the divisor is called a factor of the dividend.
For example: 2 and 3 are the factors of 6, because
= 2 and6 3
= 36 2 - Let us look at the division process.
Dividend↴ Divisor→ 3 ) 6 ( 2 ←Quotient 6 Remainder← 0 Dividend↴ Divisor→ 2 ) 6 ( 3 ←Quotient 6 Remainder← 0 We see that the remainder is 0 in both the cases.
- Thus, when a number is divided by its factor, the remainder is 0(zero).
