Hi, I'm taking calculus this sem, and i have a question on stuff pre calculus.
If x and y are natural numbers and y[less-than]x, then whole numbers q and r must exist such that x=yq+r.
a)what is the value of r if y is a factor of x? IT IS ZERO
b)If y is not a factor of x, what are the possible values of r if y=5 , y=7, or y=n?
I don't get b), can anyone help me please.
THANK YOU.
