If a number divided into 47 leaves remainder 5, then
(1) it is 6 or greater; and
(2) it leaves remainder 0 when divided into 47-5=42.
So the numbers that leave remainder 5 when divided into 42 are the factors of 42 that are 6 or larger.
Factors of 42:
1, 42
2, 21
3, 14
6, 7
Factors of 42 that are 6 or greater: 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
ANSWER: 5
