Question 65

When an integer n is divided by 8, the remainder is 3. What will be the remainder if 6n-1 is divided by 8 ?

Solution

Let the quotient is q,

$$n=8q+3$$-----------(i)

Now, multiplying 6 in the equation (i)

$$\Rightarrow 6n=48q+18$$

$$\Rightarrow 6n=8(6q+2)+2$$

$$\Rightarrow 6n-1=8(6q+2)+1$$

Hence, remainder will be 1.
