Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a number is divided by 9 and gives a remainder of 2, which of the following numbers will also give the same remainder when divided by 9?
  • Step 1: Understand what it means to divide a number by 9 and get a remainder of 2. This means that when you divide the number by 9, it does not fit perfectly into 9, and there is a leftover of 2.
  • Step 2: Write the number in a mathematical form. If a number gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 9, it can be expressed as: number = 9 * k + 2, where k is any whole number (0, 1, 2, ...).
  • Step 3: For example, if k = 3, then the number would be 9 * 3 + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29. So, 29 is one example of a number that gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 9.
  • Step 4: Now, to find other numbers that also give a remainder of 2 when divided by 9, we can add multiples of 9 to 29. This means we can check numbers like 29 + 9, 29 + 18, etc.
  • Step 5: Calculate these numbers: 29 + 9 = 38, 29 + 18 = 47, and so on. Each of these numbers will also give a remainder of 2 when divided by 9.
  • Step 6: To check if a number gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 9, you can divide the number by 9 and see if the remainder is 2.
  • Modular Arithmetic – Understanding how remainders work when dividing numbers by a specific divisor.
  • Divisibility Rules – Applying rules to determine if a number meets certain conditions when divided.
