Question

Find the missing number : $986=42\times 23+?$

• A. 20
• B. 23
• C. 22
• D. 24

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20

By comparing the given expression to "dividend= divisor x quotient + remainder"

We get, dividend = 986, divisor= 42, quotient = 23, remainder = ?

We know the dividend = 986, and the divisor = 42, so let's find the remainder by dividing 986 by 42 using long division method.

Hence, $986=42\times 23+\underset{–}{20}$
