Question

On dividing 15406 by a certain number, the quotient is 88 and the remainder is 6. Find the divisor. (Please show the process).

Answer 1

Answer:

divisor = 175

Step-by-step explanation:

• dividend = 15406
• quotient = 88
• remainder = 6

DIVIDEND = DIVISOR × QUOTIENT + REMAINDER

$15406 = divisor \times 88 + 6 \\ 15406 - 6 = divisor \times 88 \\ 15400 = divisor \times 88 \\ divisor = \frac{15400}{88} \\ divisor = 175$
