A nunber when divided by 12 gives remainder 7 if the same number is divided by 6 the remainder must be ?

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.

We are given:

n/12=q1+(7/12) where q1 is the quotient

n/6=q2+(?/6) where q2 is the quotient and ? is the remainder value we are trying to find.

? must be a integer between 0 and 5, inclusive. A remainder cannot be bigger than or equal to the divisor.

Let's rewrite the first equations

Multiply equation 1 on both sides by 2:

n/6=2q1+7/6

Remainder cannot be 7.

Rewrite again.

6 goes into 7 1 time with remainder 1.

n/6=2q1+(1+1/6)

n/6=(2q1+1)+1/6

So q2=2q1+1 and the remainder is 1 when dividing n by 6.

For fun. What is a number n with such conditions on it?

So what number has remainder 7 when divided by 12 and a remainder 1 when divided by 6.

n=12q1+7

n=6q2+1

If q1=1, we find a number right away that works.

19/12=1+7/12

19/6=3+1/6

answer: 0+0=0

step-by-step explanation:

that is the only answer that can make 0
