Answer 28

Alternative way

15908/13 = 1,223.6923076923

focus on the decimal portion 0.6923076923

multiply it by 13 to get

0.6923076923*13 = 8.9999999999 which essentially rounds to 9

It would be exactly 9 if we didn't have rounding error

Answer 31

what I was going to say would be to 13 * 1223
and then whatever you get, you subtract it from 15908

15908 - (13*1223) = your remainder
