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.

This question is to simple. My solution follows.
Remainder / given number= 29÷8=5.
This method is applicable to this type of question.
For more example
On dividing a number by 5, we get 3 as remainder. What will the remainder when the square of this number is divided by 5?
3*3=9.
So 9/5=4.
