<p>Could someone please explain how to get the answer to this math question? </p>
<p>When the positive integer n is divided by 6 the remainder is 2. What is the remainder when 24n is divided by 36?</p>
<p>is the answer 12?</p>
<p>Simple answer:
you can plug in 8 for n.
(24*8) /36 = 5+1/3</p>
<p>Remainder is 1/3 of 36 = 12</p>
<p>Plug in a number for n. Let’s say it’s 8. When 8 is divided by 6, the remainder is 2. 8*24=192
192/36=5r12. The remainder is 12.</p>
<p>Oh snap. I used the same method, but with 14. </p>
<p>Instead of taking 1/3rd of 36, I took 1/3 of 6 ^_^. Thank-you.</p>
