Question

If the divisor is 30 what is the least three digit dividend that would give a remainder of 8? Explain.

Answer 1

128
120 / 30 = 4 with a remainder of 8

Answer 2

Ok, let’s try to find the value of dividend base on the given information.
=> 30 is the divisor
=> the dividend is a 3 digit number, which is the least
=> remainder of 8
to Get the answer, let’s find the least number that can be divided with 30.
=> 30 * 1 = 30
=> 30 * 2 = 60
=> 30 * 3 = 90
=> 30 * 4 = 120, the least 3 digit number that is divisible with 30.
Now, let’s add 8 as remainder.
=> 120 + 8 = 128
=> 128 / 30 = 4 remainder 8
