Select all statements about the remainder that are true.
Correct Answer
(1) The remainder must always be less than the divisor.
(2) A remainder of 0 means the division is exact.
(3) The remainder is found by subtracting the last product from the last partial dividend.
Explanation
Three statements are true. A remainder is always less than the divisor — if it were equal to or greater than the divisor, the quotient estimate was too small. A remainder of 0 means the division is exact and the dividend is divisible by the divisor. The remainder is the final difference in the long-division process.
