Fill the blanks with $3, \quad 4$

When we divide numbers, $\quad $(Dividend)$\div$(Divisor) and obtain a Quotient and Remainder. we check the result by $(Dividend)\stackrel{?}{=}(Quotient)\times(Divisor)+(Remainder)$ So, we check this division, where Dividend = $19,$ Divisor = $5,$ Quotient = $3$ Remainder = $4$ with $19\stackrel{?}{=}5\cdot 3+4$ $\quad=15+4=19\quad $... (ok) Fill the blanks with $3, \quad 4$
