Given the numerical equation:
244/7
Determine the remainder.
Solution:
The remainder refers to the remaining value of the number that was divided, or we can refer to it as an excess value. In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 244, and it is divided by 7 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.
One trick to determine the correct remainder is to multiply 7 in which the value is very close to 244, then we subtract the two values in order to get the remainder. In our case, we will use the number 34 to be multiplied by 7.
= (7)(34)
= 238
= 244 -238
= 6
Final answer:
The remainder is 6
