Question

What is the least natural number larger than 100 which leaves the remainder12 when diveded by 19?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.....

Then according to question....

x = 19y + 12(as (x-12) /19 =natural number).......

Also x >= 100.....

19y + 12 >= 100

19y >= (100-12) = 88

y >= 88/19 = 4.63

y being a natural number as it is quotient and greater than 4.63.... y = 5

x = 19(5) +12 = 107
