Question

When 50 is divided by 4, the remainder is _____.

• A. 54
• B. 2
• C. 46
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2

Anything left after equal division is known as the remainder.
Divide 50 by 4, by repeatedly subtracting 4 from 50.
50 − 4 = 46
46 − 4 = 42
42 − 4 = 38
38 − 4 = 34
34 − 4 = 30
30 − 4 = 26
26 − 4 = 22
22 − 4 = 18
18 − 4 = 14
14 − 4 = 10
10 − 4 = 6
6 − 4 = 2

Since no further division is possible, therefore, the remainder is 2.
