In (76=9 \times 8+4), which number is the quotient?
Step 1: Compare with the form (a=bq+r). Step 2: The number multiplied with (9) is (8), so the quotient is (8). Step 3: The quotient is written as the multiplier of the divisor.

In Class 10 Mathematics, under the chapter Real Numbers, Euclid’s Division Lemma introduces the relationship a = bq + r, where a and b are positive integers, q is the quotient, and the remainder r satisfies 0 ≤ r < b. Students learn how repeated division forms Euclid’s division algorithm and use it to find the highest common factor (HCF) of two numbers. The topic also strengthens understanding of divisibility, quotients, remainders, and the logical steps used in number-theory proofs.

Step 1: Compare with the form (a=bq+r). Step 2: The number multiplied with (9) is (8), so the quotient is (8). Step 3: The quotient is written as the multiplier of the divisor.
Step 1: The remainder cannot be (6) because it equals the divisor. Step 2: (6q+6=6(q+1)+0), so the correct remainder is (0). Step 3: When the remainder seems equal to the divisor, increase the quotient by one.
Step 1: On division by (7), remainders can be from (0) to (6). Step 2: There are (7) possible remainders in total. Step 3: For a divisor (b), the number of possible remainders is (b).
Step 1: (n=2q) means (n) is exactly divisible by (2). Step 2: A number divisible by (2) is an even number. Step 3: Remember the form (2q) for identifying even numbers.
Step 1: In (2q+1), division by (2) leaves remainder (1). Step 2: Such a number is an odd number. Step 3: Every odd number can be written in the form (2q+1).
Step 1: (16 \times 9=144). Step 2: (150-144=6), so (150=16 \times 9+6). Step 3: The remainder (6) is less than (16), so the form is correct.
Step 1: (15) cannot be the remainder because it is greater than (10). Step 2: (15=10+5), so (10q+15=10(q+1)+5). Step 3: The correct remainder is always less than the divisor.
Step 1: When (r=0), the form becomes (a=bq). Step 2: This means (a) is exactly divisible by (b). Step 3: Zero remainder is a sign of exact divisibility.
Step 1: (17 \times 12=204). Step 2: (17 \times 13=221), which is greater than (208), so the quotient is (12). Step 3: While choosing the quotient, also check the next multiple.
Step 1: (17 \times 12=204). Step 2: (208-204=4), so the remainder is (4). Step 3: Check that the remainder (4<17).
Step 1: The remainder must always be less than (9). Step 2: The greatest integer less than (9) is (8). Step 3: The greatest remainder is (b-1).
Step 1: Dividing a number by itself gives quotient (1). Step 2: Nothing remains, so (35=35 \times 1+0). Step 3: When the dividend and divisor are equal, the remainder is (0).
Step 1: Write (n=5q+3). Step 2: (n+1=5q+4), so the new remainder is (4). Step 3: For a small increase, first add it to the old remainder.
Step 1: Write (n=5q+4). Step 2: (n+1=5q+5=5(q+1)+0). Step 3: When the old remainder is one less than the divisor and (1) is added, the new remainder becomes (0).
Step 1: (6 \times 10=60). Step 2: (64-60=4), so (64=6 \times 10+4) is correct. Step 3: The remainder (4) is less than the divisor (6).
Step 1: Compare with (a=bq+r). Step 2: In (a=4q+2), (r=2). Step 3: Since (2<4), this remainder is valid.
Step 1: Euclid’s division lemma is applied to two positive integers. Step 2: (b) is the divisor and it cannot be zero. Step 3: For the dividing number, positivity and non-zero value are necessary.
Step 1: (14 \times 8=112). Step 2: (119-112=7), so the remainder is (7). Step 3: Do not forget to check that the final remainder is less than the divisor.
Step 1: (9) cannot be the remainder because it is greater than (7). Step 2: (9=7+2), so (7q+9=7(q+1)+2). Step 3: A large remainder must be converted into the correct range.
Step 1: The main condition on the remainder is (0 \le r < b). Step 2: This means the remainder is less than the divisor. Step 3: In theory-based questions, remember this condition directly.
Step 1: In the form (a=bq+r), (b) is the divisor. Step 2: Here (13) is multiplied by (6), so (13) is the divisor. Step 3: While identifying terms, look at the first number in the product.
Step 1: The Euclidean form is (a=bq+r). Step 2: Here (b=10) and (r=6), so the number is (10q+6). Step 3: Put the divisor and the remainder in the correct places.
Step 1: The dividend (49) is smaller than the divisor (50). Step 2: The quotient is (0) and the remainder remains (49). Step 3: When a smaller number is divided by a larger number, the remainder can be the smaller number itself.
Step 1: The remainder is less than the divisor. Step 2: The greatest integer less than (18) is (17). Step 3: If (b) is given, the greatest remainder is (b-1).
Step 1: Write (n=8q+3). Step 2: (n+4=8q+7), so the remainder is (7). Step 3: Add the added number to the old remainder and check whether the sum is less than the divisor.
