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.

As 56 is divisible by 8
So we have remainder 29 when divisible by 56
So 29/8=5
So we have remainder 29 when divisible by 56
So 29/8=5

Add 29 to 56 then it becoms 85. Then divide it with 8.
We will get the remainder as 5.
We will get the remainder as 5.

Simply if any number divided by 56 it means divide by 8 also so only check remainder after divide 29/8 and we will get 5.

That number must x* 56 + 29,
Let x=0; num=29 then 8)29(3
24

5
If we can putx>0 get reminder is above the given answers

Divisor=56 and remainder=29.
So dividend =divisor + remainder i.e. 85.
85/8=leaver remainder 5.
Short cut:.
(Dividend=divisor+ remainder).
So dividend =divisor + remainder i.e. 85.
85/8=leaver remainder 5.
Short cut:.
(Dividend=divisor+ remainder).

Smallest no. with remainder 29 and divisible by 56 is:
56*1+29=85
85/8,remainder is 5.
56*1+29=85
85/8,remainder is 5.

Simply divide the remender with the given number ie on dividing 29 with 8 we get the remender 5.

When we divide no by 56 R = 29
i.e if we add (56 - 29 = 27) 27 to no. then no is divisible by 56
Same as 29/8 = 3 (29 - 24 = 5)
Ans is 5.

We know that 56 is completely divided by 8, means what ever number divided by 56, 8 can also divide it without remaining any remainder.
We know the remainder which we got during dividing with 56 is 29 ..
Lets see how much more we can solve it by dividing 8.
8)29(3
24
-----
5
We get remainder as 5 .
Thank you.
