Question

Compute 94 divided by 8. Enter your answer using remainder notation, if necessary. For example: 29R2

Answer 1

To find 94 divided by 8, search for the biggest number such that multiplied by 8 it is lower than 94.

Notice that 8 times 10 is 80, 8 times 11 is 88 and 8 times 12 is equal to 96.

Then, the greatest number such that multiplied by 8 it is lower than 94, is 11.

To find the reminder of 94 divided by 8, substract 8*11 from 94:

`94-11\cdot8=94-88=6`

Therefore, 94 divided by 8 is equal to 11 with a reminder of 6. The answer is:

`11R6`
