The remainder is the integer left over when is divided by . It's always non-negative and smaller than the divisor .

Explanation -

In the equation =+ , where is the dividend, is the divisor, is the quotient, and is the remainder, the relation that holds true regarding the remainder is:

The remainder must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the absolute value of the divisor .

In other words:

0< ≤ b

This means that the remainder is a non-negative number and is always smaller than the absolute value of the divisor .

Hence option (3) is true.
