On dividing a number by 56, we get 29 as remainder. On dividing the same number by 8, what will be the remainder ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Formula: (Divisor*Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend.
Soln:
(56*Q)+29 = D -------(1)
D%8 = R -------------(2)
From equation(2),
((56*Q)+29)%8 = R.
=> Assume Q = 1.
=> (56+29)%8 = R.
=> 85%8 = R
=> 5 = R.

This is the simplest way of all.
Since a number is divisible by 56 and gives remainder as 29.
Let the least possible number that satisfies the above condition,
So the number is = (56+29) ;
Number = 85;
(if you want just check it, 85%56 = 29).
So the same number 85%8 = 5 (as stated in the question).
As simple as that.

56x+29 then if we consider x=1 we get 85 when divided by 17 we get a remainder of 0 then if we consider x=2 then we get 141 if further divided by 17 we get remainder as 5 and q=8.

Suppose number is x.
Now think 1 number and reminder should be 29.
So that number will 85.
So x = 85.
If we divide 85 by 56 then we get reminder 29.
Now divide 85 by 8 then we get reminder 5.
Hence proved answer will be B option.

Let the no. divisible by 56 is x.
Then 56)x(0
0
___
29
Therefore x = 56*0+29.
x = 29.
8)29(3
24
------
5
Remainder is 5.
Then 56)x(0
0
___
29
Therefore x = 56*0+29.
x = 29.
8)29(3
24
------
5
Remainder is 5.

It's a simple calculation,
If X%56 = 29, then X%8 = ?
Simply add, 56+29=85.Because Take a least +ve integer value.
For(X) that is divisible by 56 and get the remainder is 29.
Now,
8)85(8
80
____
5.

If we want to find remainder first check divisibility by given num.
In example 56 is divisible by 8 then,
For 29,
First 29-8-8-8 = 24.
Subtract num till it is possible and left num is our ans.
29-24 = 5.

Let k is the quotient. Then.
56k+29 = 8*7k+(8*3+5) make it in form of 8 so that easily we can take 8 as a common.
56k+29 = 8(7k+3)+5
So here 5 is the remainder.
56k+29 = 8*7k+(8*3+5) make it in form of 8 so that easily we can take 8 as a common.
56k+29 = 8(7k+3)+5
So here 5 is the remainder.

Number = x.
x = 56 + 29 = 85.
So,
= 85/8 = 10.5.
Remainder is 5.
x = 56 + 29 = 85.
So,
= 85/8 = 10.5.
Remainder is 5.

Since 56 is divisible by 8 so reminder is 29.
So divide 29 by 8 so reminder is 5.
So divide 29 by 8 so reminder is 5.

Let the number is x.
x/56 gives reminder 29.
So,
56+29=85.
Then,
85/56 gives reminder 29;x=85.
85/8 gives remainder 5.
So answer is 5 very simple.
x/56 gives reminder 29.
So,
56+29=85.
Then,
85/56 gives reminder 29;x=85.
85/8 gives remainder 5.
So answer is 5 very simple.
