Algebra.Com's Answer #670649 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! it looks like the number will be 1984.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i don't know if there's an easy way to do this.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is how i did it.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide 2016 by 7 and you get 288 with a remainder of 0. \n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from 2016 and you get 2012. \n" ); document.write( "divide 2012 by 7 and you get 287 with a remainder of 3. \n" ); document.write( "that's the largest number less than or equal to 2016 that is divisible by 7 with a remainder of 3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide 2016 by 11 and you get 183 with a remainder of 3. \n" ); document.write( "add 1 to 2016 and you get 2017. \n" ); document.write( "divide 2017 by 11 and you get 183 with a remainder of 4. \n" ); document.write( "you got the remainder of 4 but 2017 is greater than 2016, so that's no good. \n" ); document.write( "subtract 11 from 2017 and you get 2006. \n" ); document.write( "divide 20006 by 11 and you get 182 with a remainder of 4. \n" ); document.write( "that's the largest number less than or equal to 2016 that is divisible by 11 with a remainder of 4.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your two largest numbers are:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2012 and 2006.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you want to find the largest number that is divisible by both and leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 7 and leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 11.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "work your way down each set.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2012 is reduced by 7 each time. \n" ); document.write( "2006 is reduced by 11 each time.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2012 - 7 = 2005 - 7 = 1998 - 7 = 1991 - 7 = 1984\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2006 - 11 = 1995 - 11 = 1984.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1984 is the magic number as best i can determine.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when it is divided by 7, you get 283 plus a remainder of 3. \n" ); document.write( "when it is divided by 11, you get 180 plus a remainder of 4.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there may be an easier way to figure this out but i don't know it.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
