One digit numbers are [0-9]
You can only have a remainder that is strictly less that the divisor. Thus, the only one-digit number that can have a remainder of eight is nine.

OK - same question as Sally C (might want to go over and take a look)
I believe the only way you can have a remainder of 8 when you are dividing with a one-digit number is if the one-digit number is a 9.
Hope that helps.

the only answer is 9. Dividing is like making communities. think of you're taking your Halloween candy and making communities of seven. in case you made a team of communities and nevertheless had 8 products of candy, you're able to make yet another team (leaving a the remainder of a million). So, any divisor below or equivalent to eight would not enable a the remainder of 8.
