- (1). When 123123 is divided by 11 we get 11193 as quitent and 0 as remainder.
It means that 123123 is completely divisible by 11 , if next six digits are
also same then that term will also be divisible by 11 completely.
i.e. when we divide 123123123123 by 11 we get 0 as a remainder.
(2). 9898 is completely divisible by 101 , it means remainder will be 98
(3). (11111*22222*33333)/5
using remainder theorem,
when we diide 11 by 5 we have 1 as remainder.
Similiarly when we divide 11111 by 5 we get 1 as remainde.
Now, dividing 22 by 5 gives 2 as remainder,
similiarly 22222 will give 2 as remainder.
And 33333 will give 3 as remainder.
now, 1*2*3/5 = 6/5 = 1
Therefore 1 is the remainder - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

i think in last 11111*22222*33333 they are already divided by 5 seprately and remainder comes out to be 1*2*3 = 6
6 should be remainder ??
or i am mistaking somewhere? - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
