Which of these operations would result in obtaining a remainder?

  1. Addition

  2. Division

  3. Multiplication

  4. Subtraction

The correct answer is: Addition

The operation that results in obtaining a remainder is division. When you divide one number by another, particularly when the first number is not evenly divisible by the second, you end up with a quotient and a remainder. For example, if you divide 10 by 3, the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1 because 3 goes into 10 three times with 1 left over. In contrast, when you perform addition, multiplication, or subtraction, these operations do not inherently create remainders as they combine or adjust quantities directly without reference to divisibility. Therefore, the correct answer identifies division as the operation that can result in a remainder.
