When a number is divided by 512 it leaves a remainder 67. If the same number is divided by 32, then what will be the remainder?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 3.

Let the number = 512k + 67

Where, k = integer and 67 is the remainder

According to the question;

⇒ When 512k is divided by 32, remainder = 0

Now, 67 is divided by 32,

⇒ 32 × 2 + 3(remainder) = 67

Hence, the remainder when the number is divided by 32 is 3.
