Question

A positive integer a is written as a=3q+r and a=4k+r , where q,k and r are whole numbers. Find possibilities of q and k

Open in App

Solution

1. a = 3q + r
that is 3q + r - a = 0
2. a = 4k + r
That is 4k + r - a = 0

subtract first equation from second equation
4k - 3q = 0
4k = 3q

k/q = 3/4
possibilities of k and q is any whole number whose ratio is 3/4.
