@Henry.Lister do u know how to solve it?

Answer 10

what ur not understanding
you need to find what n is

Answer 11

n/12 = 6
n = 72
therefore;
72/6 = 12

Answer 12

take an integer K...then we can write n as n=12*K+6....K can be changed depending on n...so now we divide n by 6 thats (12*K+6)/6=2K+1...remainder is 0

Answer 13

its remainder not quotient @pathosdebater

Answer 14

If the quotient is a whole number, then the remainder is obviously 0... I was showing how to find that out

Answer 15

note that 12K+6...always leaves a remainder 6 when divided by 12..this is the genaral form of the integer n

Answer 16

hey...but n/12 not=6 as u hav written ....u must hav overlookd @pathosdebater

Answer 17

what if the quotient is not a whole no.?

Answer 18

then u have a remainder not equal to 0

Answer 19

So n = 78

Answer 20

n cant have any specific value...what about n=114...divide it by 12....u hav a remainder 6...@pathosdebater

Answer 21

True

Answer 22

n=12*k+6..as i mentioned...k is any integer...so put k=1,2,3.....and u 'll get diff values of n

Answer 23

what about this one @amriju
when n is divided by 5,the remainder is 6.What is the remainder when n is divided by 7?

Answer 24

did u make up the ques..?...the ques is wrong..

Answer 25

yup

Answer 26

i just want to know that if the quotient is not a whole no.then what wud be the solution of that question?

Answer 27

look...if the quetiont is not a whole number.. then u have a remainder...thats all...example..114/12...12*9=108..u have remainder 6..so the quo. is..9+(6/12)...thats 9.5 not awhole num...but 8/4....we have 4*2=8..rem=0...so quo=2+(0/4)=2..whole number

Answer 28

Examples:
12/5 leaves a remainder of 2.
(12+4)/5 leaves a remainder of 1.

Answer 29

(x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 2)/(x-3) leaves a remainder of 19.
