27.
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=x-29.
56 is also divisible by 8 so 29/8=5
56 is also divisible by 8 so 29/8=5

56+29=85
therefore 85/8--->Remainder is 5
therefore 85/8--->Remainder is 5

56+29 = 85.
85/8 so we get the remainder 5.
85/8 so we get the remainder 5.

56q+29=((7*8q)+(8*3+5))
So 5 is remainder
So 5 is remainder

Simply divide 29 / 8 = 5 (remainder).
