On dividing a number by 56, we get 29 as remainder. On dividing the same number by 8, what will be the remainder?

Correct Answer: 5

Explanation:

Formula: (Divisor*Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend.

Soln:


(56*Q)+29 = D -------(1)


D%8 = R -------------(2)


From equation(2),


((56*Q)+29)%8 = R.


=> Assume Q = 1.


=> (56+29)%8 = R.


=> 85%8 = R


=> 5 = R.
