Question

What will be the remainder when we divide 47 by 6(Use Repeated Subtraction)?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5

We need to divide 47 by 6.

Let us apply repeated subtraction to find the remainder.

47 - 6 = 41
41 - 6 = 35
35 - 6 = 29
29 - 6 = 23
23 - 6 = 17
17 - 6 = 11
11 - 6 = 5

We cannot subtract 6 further from 5.

Thus, the remainder is 5.
