Question

Which of the following shows the possible remainders when a number is divided by 6?

• A. 0, 1 , 6
• B. 2, 4
• C. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• D. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

When a number is divided by 6, all the numbers less than 6 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) are the possible remainders.

When a number is completely divided by 6, the remainder is 0.

Whereas, when a number is not completely divided by 6, the possible remainders are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
