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.

x%56 = 29;
x%8 = ?
We know 56 is divisible by 8 exactly.
So we will divide the number 29/8 = 5.
So we get remainder 5.
x%8 = ?
We know 56 is divisible by 8 exactly.
So we will divide the number 29/8 = 5.
So we get remainder 5.

Let the number is divided by 56 be x.
Now x = 56 x Quotient (=1) + 29
x = 85.
85/8 = Remainder (5)
Now x = 56 x Quotient (=1) + 29
x = 85.
85/8 = Remainder (5)

Divisor*Quotient + Remainder = dividend.
Let the quotient be x.
Dividend = 56x + 29.
Divide 56 into the factors of 8.
Dividend = (8*7)x + 29.
Dividend = (8*7)x + 8*3 + 5 = 8 (7x + 3) + 5.
Hence 8 is the divisor, (7x + 3) is quotient and 5 is remainder.

Let x be the number & why be the quotient. Then,
x =56*y+29.
= (8*7y)+(8*3)+5.
= 8*(7y+3)+5.
So, remainder is 5.
x =56*y+29.
= (8*7y)+(8*3)+5.
= 8*(7y+3)+5.
So, remainder is 5.

(29+x)/8 = N.
Where N is natural number and put x values are 1 2 3 4 5.
Then x least value is your answer.

56 is divided by 8 completely.
So remainder divided by 8(29/8) = 5.
Simple.
So remainder divided by 8(29/8) = 5.
Simple.

Divisible 56 is divided by 8 without reminder.
So we take remainder 29 was divided by 8 is 3*8 are 24 and the remainder is 5.
So we take remainder 29 was divided by 8 is 3*8 are 24 and the remainder is 5.

N = 56K+29.
Put K = 1.
Then N = 85.
85 is divided by 8 we got 5.
So answer is 5.
Put K = 1.
Then N = 85.
85 is divided by 8 we got 5.
So answer is 5.

When 29 is divided divided by 8 we get quotient as 3 and remainder as 5 so answer is 5 very easy.

Add 56+29 = 85 ; because dividing 85 by 56 will leave 29 as remainder.
Now, divide 85 by 8 and you'll get 5 as remainder.
Therefore, answer is 5.
It can be applicable to any level of these type of questions.
