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.

If divisor is completely divisible by new divisor then, we should devide the remainder.
29/8 = remainder is 5.
so, ans would be 5.
29/8 = remainder is 5.
so, ans would be 5.

If devisor is completely divisible by new divisor then, we shuld divide the remainder.....ie
29 /8 = 5
ans 5
If not divisble answr: can'be determine
If they ask double of number simply do 29+29 =58
58 /5 = remainder is 3
29 /8 = 5
ans 5
If not divisble answr: can'be determine
If they ask double of number simply do 29+29 =58
58 /5 = remainder is 3

The given number is divisible by 56
Then why the number may not be 56
Take k=56
56+29=85
8)85(10
80
Reminder=5

Take any number from the table of 56 and add 29 to it.simply divide it by 8....

Let the quotient be k
therefore the number will be 56k+29
=8*7k + 8*3+5
=(8*7k+8*3)+5
=8*(7k+3) + 5
this is in the form of divisor * quotient + remainder
therefore the remainder is 5
therefore the number will be 56k+29
=8*7k + 8*3+5
=(8*7k+8*3)+5
=8*(7k+3) + 5
this is in the form of divisor * quotient + remainder
therefore the remainder is 5

Guys ....here it is :-
they said remainder is 29..by dividing some number by 56 rght so
if we add 29 and 56 we get 85
so 85 is number so is we divide 85 by 8 we get 5 has remainder
so ans = 5

Let x be the number
as per the question -> x=56Q+29 so substitute any number in Q
let Q=1 then x=56*1+29=85
Now divide x by 8,the remainder obtained is the answer.

Ist equation is ;-
x = 56y + 29
2nd equation :-
when same number i.e; x is divided by 8 rem. is :-
56y + 29 / 8
now 59 is completely divisible by 8 but when 29 is divided rem. is 5
x = 56y + 29
2nd equation :-
when same number i.e; x is divided by 8 rem. is :-
56y + 29 / 8
now 59 is completely divisible by 8 but when 29 is divided rem. is 5

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