Question

What will be the remainder and divisor when 43 is divided by 12?

• A. 7, 43
• B. 8, 43
• C. 7, 12
• D. 3, 12

Answer 1

The correct option is C 7, 12

Let's do 43 $÷$ 12

$$\begin{array}{c}3\\ 1243\\ -\underset{–}{36}2\\ 7\end{array}$$
Here, 43 is the dividend, 12 is the divisor, 3 is the quotient and 7 is the remainder. Let's verify the division using,
Dividend = Divisor $\times$ Quotient + Remainder
Dividend = 12 $\times$ 3 + 7 = 36 + 7 = 43, which is correct
Therefore, remainder and divisor are 7 and 12 respectively.
