When a certain interger is divided by 15, the remainder is 7.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F15+=+y+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Let's use the smallest value possible. y = 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F15+=+1+%2B+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F15+=+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 15
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+120+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the sum of the remainders if we divide the same integer by 3 and then by 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F3+=+a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+120%2F3+=+a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+=+a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "NO remainder here, try the next one
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F5+=+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+120%2F5+=+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+20+=+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "No remainder here either \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the sum of the remainders of the a and b equations is 0 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
