Find all positive integers, when divided by 3 leaves remainder s.
Answers
Answer:
All the positive integers when divided by 3 leaves remainder 2
a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r ≤ b
a = 3q + r
where 0 < q < 3 a
leaves remainder 2 when divided by 3
∴ The positive integers are 2, 5, 8, 11
The question is incomplete
The full question is " Find all positive integers, when divided by 3 leaves remainder 5,,
Solution:
let, x be the Find all positive integers, when divided by 3 leaves remainder 5.
n be the all positive integers.
so, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, .. ..
now, for finding all positive integers, when divided by 3 leaves remainder 5.
we need is equation
x = 3n +5
for n= 1
x = 3*1+5 = 8
for n=2
x = 3*2 +5 = 11
for n= 3
x= 3*3+5 = 14
for n= 4
x = 3*4+5 =17
and so on..
therefore, all positive integers, when divided by 3 leaves remainder 5 are 8, 11, 14, 17, .. .. so on.
