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.

Easily we can say that the same number is divided by 8. The previous remainder is 28. When 28 is divided by 8 the remainder is 5.
Answer is 5.
Answer is 5.

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).

Let x be the number and y be the quotient. Then,
x = 56 x y + 29.
= (8 x 7 x y) + (8 x 3) + 5.
= 8 x (7y + 3) + 5).
Required remainder = 5.
x = 56 x y + 29.
= (8 x 7 x y) + (8 x 3) + 5.
= 8 x (7y + 3) + 5).
Required remainder = 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.

Simple way.
No need to do all this.
A number is divided by 56 and remainder was 29.
So 56+29=85.
Again 85/8 the remainder is 5 (answer).

What should be added to the dividend so that there is no remainder in 112/5?
Can anybody tell me how to solve this and what is the answer?

Assume the number is 56 + 29 = 85,
85 = 56x1 + 29.
When it is divided by 8,
85/8 = 8x10 + 5,
or 29 = 3x8 + 5,
Hence the remainder is 5.
85 = 56x1 + 29.
When it is divided by 8,
85/8 = 8x10 + 5,
or 29 = 3x8 + 5,
Hence the remainder is 5.

Suppose number is x then,
(x-29)/56 = 0 ..... 1.
x/8 = ? .... 2.
From 1 we get x = 29.
Put these value in 2.
29/8 = 5 answer.
(x-29)/56 = 0 ..... 1.
x/8 = ? .... 2.
From 1 we get x = 29.
Put these value in 2.
29/8 = 5 answer.

56*29=1624 add 29 to get remainder 29 i.e. 1653 now divide it the remainder will be 29, simple and now divide by 8 we get remainder 5.

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.
