Competive Exam Math 7 : Finding the remainder


8. Finding the remainder when: = 115 + 4= 1 + 4 = 5,


Trick




  • 18 = 17 + 1 (So, replace 18 with 1)

  • So, 18 → 1 (when dividing by 17)


Now, 115 + 4 = 1+ 4 = 5, Remainder = 5

We need to find the remainder when : 17241 ÷ 18


Since: 17 - 18 = − 1


So, when 17 is divided by 18, the remainder is -1 (or equivalently 17).


Since 241 is an odd number,


So, when divided by 18,


                                 17 ≡ −1 (mod18) 


Now,



  • 241 is an odd number.

  • Odd power of −1 is −1.


(−1)241 = − 1


A remainder cannot be negative, so


−1 = 18 − 1 = 17  [Divisor (āĻ­āĻžāϜāĻ•) - remainder]


Ans: 17




  • 17 = 18 − 1

  • Odd power (āĻŦāĻŋāĻœā§‹āĻĄāĻŧ āϘāĻžāϤ) → Remainder (āĻ­āĻžāĻ—āĻļ⧇āώ) = 17

  • Even power (āϝ⧁āĻ—ā§āĻŽ āϘāĻžāϤ) → Remainder (āĻ­āĻžāĻ—āĻļ⧇āώ) = 1

Q. What is the remainder when 1112024 is divided by 112 ? Q. 1112024 āĻ• 112 ⧰⧇ āĻ­āĻžāĻ— āϕ⧰āĻŋāϞ⧇ āĻ­āĻžāĻ—āĻļ⧇āώ āĻ•āĻŋāĻŽāĻžāύ āĻš'āĻŦ ?


Option : A. 3,  B. 2,  C. 4,  D. 1



1112024  112






Since,


111 = 112 − 1

So,


111 ≡ −1 (mod112)

Now, 2024 is an even number (āϝ⧁āĻ—ā§āĻŽ āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻž).


(−1)2024 = +1

Therefore,


12024 ≡ 1 (mod112)
