Question

What is the remainder if $24653$ divided by $6$.

• A. $5$
• B. $4$
• C. $3$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5$

We know the divisibility rule for $6$: The number is divisible by both $2$ and $3$.
So, here the number is not divisible by both $2$ and $3$.
Hence subtract $5$ to the number we get $24653-5=24648$ is divisible by both $2$ and $3$.
Therefore, remainder is $5$.
