<PRE><B>Question 860359</B>
Dividend is 3141,divisor is 43, quotient is 17. What is the remainder?
&lt;pre&gt;
  &lt;u&gt;   73&lt;/u&gt;  &lt;--quotient cannot be 17 but only 73
43)3141
   &lt;u&gt;301&lt;/u&gt;
    131
    &lt;u&gt;129&lt;/u&gt;
      2 = Remainder

But then I suppose that if you insisted that the quotient is 17

  &lt;u&gt;   17&lt;/u&gt;  
43)3141
   &lt;u&gt; 731&lt;/u&gt;
   2410 = Remainder.
