Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Euclid's division Lemma states that for any two positive integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ there exist two unique whole numbers ‘q’ and ‘r’ such that , a = bq + r, where 0≤ r < b.

Here, a= Dividend, b= Divisor, q= quotient and r = Remainder.

According to Euclid's division lemma a 3q+r, where 0≤r≤3 and r is an integer.

Therefore, the values of r can be 0, 1 or 2.
