Answer 1

Answer:

The remainder when 899 is divided by 16 is 56.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that, when a number is divided by 31, the remainder is 29.

We need to find the what will be the remainder when the same number is divided by 16.

Let the number be x

According to the question

× ÷ 31 = 29

$\frac{x}{31}\ =\ 29$

x = 29 × 31

Therefore x = 899

So the number is 899

If the same number be divided by 16 then ,

$\frac{899}{16}\ =\ 56.1875$

So, the remainder when 899 is divided by 16 is 56.1875
