You can put this solution on YOUR website! = > any number that ends with or and is equal or greater then ,is divisible by and will be also divisible by
since does not ends with or , we can subtract , which is going to be our reminder, and get which ends with ; therefore, it is divisible by and also divisible by now we just add reminder
so, your answer is b. r
the solution is that the quotient is 1486 with a remainder of 23.
if you do the division by hand, you would get the following:
following is the division done manually.
first you divide 37 by 25 to get a quotient of 1.
then you subtract 1 * 25 = 25 from 37 to get a remainder of 12.
then you bring down the 1 to get 121.
then you divide 121 by 25 to get a quotient of 4.
then you subtract 4 * 25 = 100 from 121 to get a remainder of 21.
then you bring down the 7 to get 217.
then you divide 217 by 25 to get a quotient of 8.
then you subtract 8 * 25 = 200 from 217 to get 17.
then you bring down the 3 to get 173.
then you divide 173 by 25 to get a quotient of 6.
then you subtract 6 * 25 = 150 from 173 to get 23.
since 23 is smaller than 25, the division is done and you get a remainder of 23.
your solution is a quotient of 1486 with a remainder of 23.
