Question: A number when divided by 5 gives the quotient 4 and remainder 1. Find the number.

Let me first explain this question.

It has been told that there's a number which is been divided by the number 5. After dividing it, 1 is remaining. That means 1 is the remainder.

We are told to find the number.

Before, I give the solution Let me tell you How I will be going to solve this.

I will be forming a linear equation.

=> An Equation is a mathematical language which has variable along with an 'equal to' sign.

=> An equation is said to be Linear when the highest power of the variable is 1.

Solution:

Let the number be x

∴ $\frac{x}{5}$  = 4 + $\frac{1}{5}$

∴ $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{21}{5}$

∴ 5x = 21*5

∴ 5x = 105

∴ x = 105/5

∴ x = 21

Therefore, The solution of the equation is x = 21.

The number is 21.

_____________________________________________

If $\frac{21}{5}$ is divided we get

Quotient: 4

Remainder: 1
