On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as remainder. On dividing the same number 17, what will be the remainder ?
0
3
5
11
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let x be the number and y be the quotient. Then,

x = 357 x y + 39

  = (17 x 21 x y) + (17 x 2) + 5

  = 17 x (21y + 2) + 5)

Required remainder = 5.

You can simply divide 39 by 17, then you will get the answer, i.e., remainder 5. :-).

Bibhuti.

It's simple, just take the first given remainder and divide it by the second denominator.

i.e, 39/17=5 is the answer.

47/18 =11 gives you the answer.

Please solve this problem in an easy way and explain the answer.

On dividing a certain number by 342, we get 47 as a reminder. If the same number is divided by 18, what will be the reminder?
