Question

Jim’s father is older than 40 but younger than 50.If you can divide his age by 2,4,5,8,or 10 ,there will be a remainder of 1. How old is Jim’s father?

Answer 1

Explanation:

all you have to do is divide each number by 4, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 ,and 50 until you get a remainder of 1. what I mean is do 2 divided by all the number from 40 50 and do the same with 4,5,8 and 10 until you find one of them that has a remainder of 1. (is a lot of work sorry could't tell you the anwer)
