Question

A number N when divided by 16 gives 5 as a remaider. If the same number is divided by 8 what remainder will it give? Plz explain And give answer ASAP✋

Answer 1

Answer:

The remainder would be 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N be a number such that,

N = 5( mod 16)

i.e.

N = 16x + 5

Where, x is any positive integer.

We can write,

N = 8(2x) + 5

if x = positive integer, 2x is also a positive integer.

Let 2x = y,

N = 8y + 5

Thus, N = 5(mod 8)

Hence, the remainder when the same number is divided by 8 would also be 5.
