Question

on dividing 59761 by a certain number,the quotient is 189 and the remainder is 37. find tbe divisor

Answer 1

As we know dividend = devisor * quotient + remainder. And you have dividend, quotient and remainder.
 
Than, 59761 = x * 189 + 37, x = 316.

Answer 2

The divisor is 316.  

Given:  

Dividend = 59761, The number divided by another number.

Quotient = 189, The result obtained by dividing one number by another

Remainder = 37, The remaining leftover in the division process

Since all dividend, quotient and remainder is given, the left out divisor can be obtained by the below formula by assuming the divisor to be x.  

$\begin{array}{r}{\text { We know, (Divisor } \times \text {Quotient} )+\text { Remainder }=\text {Dividend}} \\ {(x \times 189)+37=59761} \\ {189 x+37=59761} \\ {189 x=59761-37} \\ {189 x=59724} \\ {x=\frac{59724}{189}=316}\end{array}$
