There are different possible remainders if you divide a number by 9, hence we can also have whole number as answer if and only if, the dividend is a multiply of 9. Mainly these are, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90,… and so on up until infinity. If a number is not a multiple of 9, then it will definitely have a remainder. Here are some common examples of the possible remainders if the number is divided by 9.

Examples:

15/9

= 1 remainder 6

29/9

= 3 remainder 2

100/9

= 11 remainder 1
