Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a number is divided by 12 and gives a remainder of 7, what is the possible range of this number? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that when a number is divided by 12 and gives a remainder of 7, it can be written in a specific form.
  • Step 2: The form is '12k + 7', where 'k' is a whole number (0, 1, 2, ...).
  • Step 3: Start with k = 0. Calculate the number: 12 * 0 + 7 = 7.
  • Step 4: Next, try k = 1. Calculate the number: 12 * 1 + 7 = 19.
  • Step 5: Continue this for more values of k. For k = 2, the number is 12 * 2 + 7 = 31.
  • Step 6: The pattern shows that the numbers are 7, 19, 31, 43, ... and so on.
  • Step 7: The possible range of the number can be expressed as all numbers of the form 12k + 7, where k is a non-negative integer.
