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.

Simply divide the remender with the given number ie on dividing 29 with 8 we get the remender 5.

Remainder by 56=29
56/8 leaves 0 as remainder
So, 29/8 leaves 5 as remainder
hence answer is 5
56/8 leaves 0 as remainder
So, 29/8 leaves 5 as remainder
hence answer is 5

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.

First we do 56+29=85.
And 1 is quotient. Then 85 is divided by 8 then we get 5 as reminder.

56)x(y
-
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.

Guys is there any method by which we can also find the no. With which 56 is to be divided?

56k+29 = x.
8k+y = x.
56%8 = 7, 29%8=3 and remainder is 5.
(8+7k)+(8*3)+5.
8(7k+3)+5.
5.
8k+y = x.
56%8 = 7, 29%8=3 and remainder is 5.
(8+7k)+(8*3)+5.
8(7k+3)+5.
5.

Very easy.
Let 1 be the quotient.
i.e. 56+29 = 85.
Divide 85 by 8.
Remainder will be 5.

Smallest no. with remainder 29 and divisible by 56 is:
56*1+29=85
85/8,remainder is 5.
56*1+29=85
85/8,remainder is 5.
