Answer 1

Answer 2

Why? @ikram002p

Answer 3

well as 9 is the largest one-digit number that we can divide by, it has 8 as the largest remainder of 8, but let me rethink about it they might be a trick :)

Answer 4

OK, a trick would be helpful, thanks.

Answer 5

I get it now. 8 is the correct answer, thanks! @ikram002p

Answer 6

so this applies to *any* digit number right? and not only 5....
if you divide any number by a one digit number, the largest remainder is always 8 ???

Answer 7
