Answer 1

In order to solve a division problem with reminders, we need to find the number that will multiply the divisor and get the closest to the dividend. That number will be the quotient.

Then, to find the reminder, we need to calculate it in the formula:

`\text{Dividend}=\text{quotient}\cdot\text{divisor}+\text{remider}`

For example, in the division of 15 by 6, the quotient we should use is 2, because 2 *6 = 12 will be the closest to 15 (if we choose the quotient 3, we will have 3 * 6 = 18, which is bigger than 15).

Then, to find the reminder, we have:

`\begin{gathered} reminder=\text{Dividend}-\text{quotient}\cdot\text{divisor} \\ reminder=15-2\cdot6=15-12=3 \end{gathered}`
