Question

1550 murals are to be painted by 6 artists. Each artist will paint equal number of murals. What could be the number of murals that will be left unpainted?

Answer 1

Total number of murals = 1550
Total number of artists = 6

To find number of murals left unpainted, calculate the remainder left after dividing 1550 by 6.

So, calculating $1550÷6$,


∴ The final quotient is $258$ and the remainder left is 2.

So, number of murals left unpainted will be 2.
