Positive Integer A gives the remainder of 6 when divided by

Sorry, I don't think I get the point..Can you help and explain it further pls

I checked again, the answer is 25.

Thank you guys, I get it now!!

I have a ques to ask..though it might be a very stupid one but need help..

When you did A/b = (quotient) + remainder/B = 47.24
why did you only divide remainder by B..is there a concept which i seem to miss..

[b]A/b = (quotient) + remainder/B
(quotient) = B * x where x an integer

Honestly, I dont know how to do it..jst started with this site in a hope to get some help..if therez a way i can thank ppl..wld luv to do so..

below the name there is a buttom called +1 kudos
press it whenever want to thank anyone

ohhh I see ppl write +1 in their post..is it as gud as giving a kudos or you need you press the button...

+1 means they gave you kudos

Aannnhhhh...+1 for you for all the help (nt to forget for the info too)
btw um still a lil unclear on this problem..will review it and get back to you for more help

you have to press the button under my name not ur name

A/B=47.24
A/B=4724/100=1181/25.
B= 25

I am putting my explanations.....See if you grasp it.

A/B = 47.24 = \(47\frac{24}{100}\) = \(47\frac{6}{25}\)

Any value of B should have the below two properties
1) Should be a factor of 100
2) Should be of the form\(\frac{24}{100}\) if the numerator and denominator are multiplied together

You can see that without going to the step#2, the answer is only D - 25

If you want a better understand the theory, go through Karishma's blogs....They are wonderful in the sense that she has articulated the thought process in easy to understand words....

Try a variant of this question -
If A/B = 47.24, which of the following can be a value of B?

A. 20
B. 50
C. 200
D. 250
E. 12

This can have multiple answers, so the question can be A,B,C,etc

Thats a well crafted method

Thank you


A/B = 47.24

therefore 24/100 = 6/25 where 6 is the remainder and 25 is the divisor

\(x\) divided by \(y\) yields the remainder of \(r\) can always be expressed as: \(\frac{x}{y}=q+\frac{r}{y}\) (which is the same as \(x=qy+r\)), where \(q\) is the quotient and \(r\) is the remainder.

So, A gives the remainder of 6 when divided by B can be written as \(\frac{A}{B}=q+\frac{6}{B}\).

Next, given that \(\frac{A}{B}=47.24=47\frac{24}{100}=44\frac{6}{25}=44+\frac{6}{25}\), so according to the above \(\frac{6}{B}=\frac{6}{25}\), so \(B=25\).

Answer: D.

Hope it's clear.

Its 25..

6
47.24= 47-- = in denominator its 25 that means divisor is 25..and 6 is the remaider..
25

A/B=47+6/B
6/B=0.24
B=600/24=25
Simple!
