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.

56k + 29.
(8*7k) + (8*3) + 5.
8(7k+3) + 5.
Remainder will be 5.
(8*7k) + (8*3) + 5.
8(7k+3) + 5.
Remainder will be 5.

x = 56*y + 29.
= 7*8*y + 3*8 + 5.
The remainder is 5 ie (B).
= 7*8*y + 3*8 + 5.
The remainder is 5 ie (B).

29 is divide by 8, So remainder we get 5 which is our answer.

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.

Its easy one divide remainder by number.
i.e 29%8 = 5.
i.e 29%8 = 5.

x = 56*y + 29
= 7*8*y + 3*8 + 5
The remainder is 5
= 7*8*y + 3*8 + 5
The remainder is 5

x%56=29.
(x-29) %56=0.
(x-29) %8=0.
x%8=29%8.
X=5.
(x-29) %56=0.
(x-29) %8=0.
x%8=29%8.
X=5.
