​The Division algorithm is : (1) Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) - Remainder (2) Divisor = (Dividend x Quotient) + Remainder

Question

The Division algorithm is :

(1) Dividend = (Divisor \(\times\) Quotient) - Remainder 

(2) Divisor = (Dividend \(\times\) Quotient) + Remainder 

(3) Dividend = (Divisor + Quotient) + Remainder 

(4) Dividend = (Divisor \(\times\) Quotient) + Remainder

Answer 1

Correct option is: (4) Dividend = (Divisor \(\times\) Quotient) + Remainder

The division algorithm says when a number 'a' is divided by a number 'b' gives the quotient to be 'q' and the remainder to be 'r' then  \(a=bq+r\) where  \(0\leq r \leq b\). 

Dividend \(=\) Divisor \(\times\) Quotient \(+\) Remainder
