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.

Given 56Q+29 = X.
1) Where 56 is divisible by 8 gives 0 as remainder and then 29/8 gives 5 as remainder.
(OR)
2) Put 1 or 2 or 3... in place of Q.
For ex Q=1 then,
(56+29)/8 gives remainder 5.

Consider the number is 29.
If you divide 29/56 you will get 29 remainder.
So 29/8 yields 5 remainder.
If you divide 29/56 you will get 29 remainder.
So 29/8 yields 5 remainder.

Friends, any number divided by 56 and remainder is 29, same number divided by 8, so 56/8=7, 7 is common multiplier now 29 is not divided by 7(:.7*4=28 ) but next is 7*5=35 So 5 is answer.

2nd remainder=1st reminder/2nd divisor.
That means 2nd remainder=29/8, so 5 is the remainder.
That means 2nd remainder=29/8, so 5 is the remainder.

Consider the quotient as 1. And solve 56*1+29=85. Now divide 85 by 8 remainder is 5.

If you want to get remainder as 29 when a number is divided by 56, take the simplest number which does that..(56+29=85). 85/29 gives 29 as remainder. Now divide 85 by 8. Remainder is 5.

-
Reminder = 29.
x = 56y+29.
x = 8*7y+8*3+5.
= 8(7y+3)+5.
Hence reminder is 5.

Reminder = 29.
x = 56y+29.
x = 8*7y+8*3+5.
= 8(7y+3)+5.
Hence reminder is 5.

56*29=1624 add 29 to get remainder 29 i.e. 1653 now divide it the remainder will be 29, simple and now divide by 8 we get remainder 5.

x = 56*y + 29.
= 7*8*y + 3*8 + 5.
So remainder = 5 and B.
= 7*8*y + 3*8 + 5.
So remainder = 5 and B.
