Question

What is the remainder when 16,055 is divided by 16?

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

You can solve this by splitting 16,055 into two numbers, 16,000 + 55. Now divide both numbers by 16. You can see that 16,000 is a 16 with two more zeros, that means when divided by 16 it will become 100. 16 can only fit into 55 three times. 16 x 3 is 48. 55 - 48 is 7. Since 100 was an even number, the final remainder will be 7.
