| Understanding | Application |
|
The relation between divisor, dividend, quotient & remainder is; dividend = quotient × divisor + remainder |
By the given data, ⇒ Divisor = 6 × quotient ⇒ Divisor = 3 × remainder ⇒ Divisor = 3 × 40 ⇒ Divisor = 120 Quotient = 120/6 ⇒ 20 ⇒ Dividend = 20 × 120 + 40 ⇒ 2400 + 40 ⇒ 2440 |
