On dividing a number by 357, we get 39 as remainder. On dividing the same number 17, what will be the remainder ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Let x be the number and y be the quotient. Then,
x = 357 × y + 39
= (17 × 21 × y) + (17 × 2) + 5
= 17 × (21y + 2) + 5
∴ Required remainder = 5
x = 357 × y + 39
= (17 × 21 × y) + (17 × 2) + 5
= 17 × (21y + 2) + 5
∴ Required remainder = 5
