Working out the remainder, an amount left over after dividing numbers
Question one
Yes, Lerato and Bongani could be thinking of the same number
One is a possible answer. The other possible answers are one more than a
common multiple of four and seven, for example, 28 + 1 = 29 or 56 + 1 = 57.
Question two
Let the number be N ...
if it leaves a remainder of four when divided by five, then if we add one to it, it will be divisible by five.
if it leaves a remainder of three when divided by four, then if we add one to it, it will be divisible by four.
if it leaves a remainder of two when divided by three, then if we add one to it, it will be divisible by three.
if it leaves a remainder of one when divided by two, then if we add one to it, it will be divisible by two.
If we add one more to the number, then it will be divisible by five, four, three and two.
N + 1 is divisible by five, four, three and two.
Therefore one possibility for N + 1 is 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 = 120, which means that N would be 119.
