Question

In division why should the remainder not be greater than the divisor

Answer 1

because if the remainder is larger then the divisor then you ate able to divide the remainder by the divisor 1 or how ever many
examples:29÷3.if you say 8r5 you can divide the remainder (5) by the divisor (3)one more time .so 29÷3=9r2.noe it is correct because you can't divide the remainder (2) by the divisor (3)

PS:I'm 10 and I'm in fifth grade.youre welcome.im happy to help.i love math

Answer 2

Because if the remainder is greater than the divisor you could divide into it again.
