Question 86

A number, when divided by 6, gives the quotient 6. What is the number?

Answer 1

Let the required number be x. Then, x divided by $6=\frac{x}{6}.$
It is given that when x is divided by 6, it gives the quotient as 6.
So, we obtain the following equation
$\frac{x}{6}=6\Rightarrow \frac{x}{6}\times 6=6\times 6\left[multiplyingbothsidesby6\right]\Rightarrow x=36$
Hence, the required number is 36.
