Question

When the positive integer m is divided by 6, the remainder is 5. What is the remainder when m+2 is divided by 6?

Answer 1

The remainder is 1.

Explanation:

First, you have to find the value of m. With the given information :

m ÷ 6 = 5

m = 5 × 6

m = 30 (no remainder)

if,

m = 30 + 5

m = 35 (with remainder as 5)

Next, you have to substitute m value into the expression, (m+2) ÷ 6 :

(35+2) ÷ 6

= 37 ÷ 6

= 6 1/6 (1 as a remainder)
