If (a=47) and (b=9), what are the values of (q) and (r) in (a=bq+r)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (q=5,\ r=2)
Step 1: The greatest multiple of (9) not exceeding (47) is (45). Step 2: So (47=9\times5+2), giving (q=5) and (r=2). Step 3: First find the nearest smaller multiple of the divisor.
