Hello,
1.Euclid’s division algorithm, as the name suggests, has to do with divisibility of
integers. Stated simply, it says any positive integer a can be divided by another positive
integer b in such a way that it leaves a remainder r that is smaller than b.
I am not able to understand that the "it" in bold refers to what.
Does "it" in bold refer to the process itself or anything else?
Could any one here explain it to me?
Thanks.

It is debatable whether "it" refers to the positive integer a or to the division process. However, it makes no difference to the meaning.
