-2/9 to get 1?

1. Answer:

   let the no. be = X

   -2/9 ÷ x = 1

   -2/9 = 1 *x

   x= -2/9

   hence the rational no. should be -2/9 to get the remainder 1..

   this can also be told without proof as we already know that any no. only when divided by itself leaves the remainder 1.

   hope it helps..
