Question

The difference between two numbers is 2395. When the larger number is divided by the smaller one, the quotient is 6 and the remainder is 15. The smaller number is=?

Answer 1

GIVEN :

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO NUMBER = 2395

IF, LARGER NUMBER IS DIVIDED BY THE SMALLER ONE, THE QUOTIENT IS 6 AND THE REMAINDER IS 5

TO FIND :

THE SMALLER NUMBER

SOLUTION :

LET THE SMALLER NUMBER = x

LET THE LARGER NUMBER = x + 2395

NOW,

x + 2395 = 6x + 15

6x - x = 2395 - 15

5x = 2380

x = 2380/5

x = 476
