Question

The remainder when $27$ is divided by $6$ is .

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3$

To get the value of $27÷6$,
let's find how many times the 6 is the 27 using 6 multiplication table:
$6\times 1=6$
$6\times 2=12$
$6\times 3=18$
$6\times 4=24$
$6\times 5=30$
6 times of any number do not produce 27, so looking for the closest number. From the above table, we find
24 < 27, and 6 × 4 = 24.

Therefore,
Quotient $=4$ and
Remainder $=27-24=3$
