If a number is divided by 357 the remainder is 5, what will be the remainder if the number is divided by 17?

• ANS:5 ...to get the original number add the 357 with remainder 5, you will get 362.then divide it by 17 you will get 5 as remainder.

• answer is 5
  
  because 17 is factor of 357 so remainder of it can directly computed as 5%17=5
  
  
  you can check this trick with any case . all the best !

• let number be n and quotient is x.
  
  n=357x+5
  n=17(21x)+5
  
  so, remainder is 5.

• 357*x+5
  =17*21*x+5
  after diving by 17,,,5 remained.

• lets take number = 719. wen the number divided by 357 it gives u a remainder 5. and the same number(719) when divided by 17 it gives u a remainder 7. so ans is 7

• Here 357 can be writen in multiples of 17.so,it can be 17*21.
  from tthe divend rule i.e dividend=divisor*quotient+remainder
  let the dividend or no. be n.and the quotient be x.so,it can be written as
  n=357*x+5
  n=17(21)*x+5.so ans is 5.

• ans=divisor+remainder/17
  ans=357+5/17
  ans=362/17
  ans=5
