Question

Find the least number which should be added to 71/11 to make it an integer

Answer 1

,

Answer:

the question must be more clarified than this,because there exists many answers for this question.

to make 71/11 an integer by adding a number means,the denominator must be 11 or multiples of 11 and the summation of numerators must be divisible by the denominator,

and such kind of rational numbers exists more,such as

(-5/11),(-16/11),(-27/11),.....so on till (-infinity/11),(6/11),(17/11),....(infinity/11).

but given smallest number should be added,so (-infinity/11) is the smallest number that should be added to 71/11 to make it an integer.

Note: if question is such that find the least number which should be added to 71/11 to make it a smallest positive integer,then the answer will be ,

the smallest multiple of 11 is 1 ,

to get answer 1,

(71/11)+X=1,

=>X=1-(71/11),

=>X=(-60/11).
