Question

A number N when divided by 120 gives a remainder of 76. What would be the remainder
obtained on dividing the same number by 8?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that dividend is 120 and the remainder is 76.When we divide 'n' by 120 the possible remainder is 76.so let's take quotient as 'Q'. And we know that :-Dividend = Divisor X Quotient + Remainder. So let's use it.. 120 = 'n' X q + 76. Then we get. n X q = 120 - 76 = 44... And it is given that when 8 is divided with 'n' then what is the possible remainder.. In the place of 'n' we can write 44/q. so when we divide 44/q /8,
