01 According to Euclid’s division lemma, what are the correct quotient and remainder when 2547 is divided by 156?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. (q=16, r=51)
Explanation: Step 1: Find the nearest lower multiple of 156 below 2547. Step 2: (156\times16=2496), so the remainder is (2547-2496=51). Step 3: In a valid Euclidean form, the remainder must be smaller than the divisor.
