so
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
(a) The remainder if 
(b) The remainder if 
(b) is the greater quantity
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) is the greater quantity
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
The information is insufficient.
For example, if 
This gives the division in (b) the greater remainder.
But if 
This gives the division in (a) the greater remainder.
