Remainder
If 'n' is a positive integer which leaves a remainder of 75 on division by 1995 , find the remainder got when 'n' is divided by 57.

Re: Remainder
hi Gopal,
Welcome to the forum.
Note that 1995 = 57 x 5 x 7
So divide that remainder by 57 and see what remains.

Re: Remainder
Hi Gopal;
What is the remainder when 75 is divided by 57?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
