Question

Anumber 'n' when divided by 14 gives the remainder s. Find the remainder when the same
number is divided by 7.​

Answer 1

We know that 14 is a multiple of 7.

Thus, the remainder in both the cases should be the same.

With an example, we can test this.

Let the number being divided be = 17

And the numbers which are dividing it be = 2, 4

When 17 is divided by 2, the remainder is = 1

And when 17 is divided by 4, the remainder is = 1

Thus, if x and y are dividing the same number, and y is a multiple of x, then the remainder in both the cases will be equal.

Therefore your answer is:- s.
