Question

The relation between dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder will be:

• A. dividend = remainder × quotient + divisor
• B. divisor = dividend × quotient + remainder
• C. dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
• D. divisor = dividend + quotient × remainder

Hint:

Remember the division algorithm: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Division algorithm concept.
According to the division algorithm: \[ \text{Dividend} = \text{Divisor} \times \text{Quotient} + \text{Remainder} \]
Step 2: Substitution check.
For example, dividing 13 by 4 gives quotient = 3, remainder = 1. \[ 13 = 4 \times 3 + 1 \] which verifies the formula.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Hence, the correct relation is dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.
