Question

A number divided by 899 gives a remainder of 63. If the number is divided by 29, the remainder will be?

Answer 1

Answer:

reminder=5

Let the number be n. Whenn is divided by 899, remainder is 63 so we can express n as

- n = 899 * k + 63, where k is an integer > 0

now since 899 is divisible by 29, 899 * k will also be divisible by 29.

So remainder when n is divided by 29 will be 63 mod 29 = 5
