Question

the quotient when Sarah divided a number by 5 was 247 with a remainder.What is one possible dividend and explain how you find it

Answer 1

hello :

let : a the dividend

you have : a = 5×247 + R .... R is the remainder

when divided a by 5 : R = 0 , R = 1 , R =2 , R = 3 , R = 4

R = 0 : a = 5×247 + 0 = 1235

R = 1 : a = 5×247 + 1 = 1236

R = 2 : a = 5×247 + 2 = 1237

R = 3 : a = 5×247 + 3 = 1238

R = 4 : a = 5×247 + 4 = 1239
