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.
$\frac{729}{27}$ = 27
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.
