I found this theorem while going through a book:
The remainder is the same for all the multiples of the divisor and to the specific factors of the divisor that are bigger than the remainder.
Examples given:
case 1:the remainder when 1057 divided by 1000 is 57
case 2:the remainder when 1057 divided by 10000 (which is multiple of 1000) is also 57
case 3:the remainder when 1057 divided by 1000n where n is any natural number will be 57
case 1:But as per the theorem remainder when 1057 divided by 10 (which is a factor of 1000 and which is less than 57) is not 57
Can someone validate this theorem.
