Question : A number, when divided by 729, gives a remainder of 56. What will we get as a remainder if the same number is divided by 27?
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution :
Given:
The first number is 729.
The second number is 27.
The remainder after, dividing a number by 729, is 56.
Check if the first number is completely divisible or not by the second number.
Here, the first number is completely divisible by the second number.
Now, we will divide the remainder by the second number and the remainder will be the answer.
56 = (2 × 27) + 2
So, the remainder is 2.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
