Question

List the first three wholenumbers greater than 50 that will have a remainder of 7 when you divide by 9/ ?

Answer 1

52, 61 and 70

Explanation:

Given

`Divisor = 9`

`Remainder = 7`

Required

Determine first 3 possible dividends

The relationship between the
`dividend,\ divisor,\ quotient\ and\ remainder` is:

`Dividend = Divisor * Quotient + Remainder`

Substitute:
`Divisor = 9` and
`Remainder = 7`

`Dividend = 9* Quotient + 7`

Since the Dividends must be greater than 50, then the values of the quotient will be 5, 6 and 7

So, we have:

`Dividend = 9* 5 + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52`

`Dividend = 9* 6 + 7 = 54 + 7 = 61`

`Dividend = 9* 7 + 7 = 63 + 7 = 70`

Hence, the three numbers are: 52, 61 and 70
