Question

17. Find the greatest number of 5 digits, that will give
us a remainder of 5, when divided by 8 and 9, re-
spectively.​

Answer 1

Answer:

99941

The greatest number of 5 digits,that give remainder of 5 when divided by 8 and 9 respectively is 99941.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we should get remainder 5 when divided with 8 or 9 the number should be in the form of 72(x)+5.

If, x=1388

72(x)+5=72(1388)+5=99941

x=1389

72(x)+5=72(1389)+5=100013 this is a 6 digit no

Hence, 99941 is the greatest 5 digit number.
