Question

A number when divided by 12 gives 7 as quotient and 9 as remainder. The number is ..............

Answer 1

By division algorithm, we have
dividend = divisor $\text{×}$ quotient + remainder
Here, divisor = 12, quotient = 7 and remainder = 9.
Therefore
dividend = divisor $\text{×}$ quotient + remainder
= 12 $\text{×}$ 7 + 9
= 84 + 9
= 93
Hence, the required number is 93.
