Concept of Remainder:
Supposing a number N is divided by another number “x”; if the quotient obtained is “Q” and the remainder obtained is “R”, then the number can be expressed as N=Qx+R
For example, suppose 8 is divided by 3
In this case, N=8, x=3. 3×2=6, which is 2 less than 8. hence Q=2 and R=(8-6)=2 Hence 8=2×3+2
Basic Remainder Theorem:
Basic remainder theorem is based on product of individual remainders.
If R is the remainder of an expression( p*q*r)/X, and pR, qR and rR are the remainders when p,q and r are respectively divided by X,
then it can be said that ((pR x qR x rR ))/X, will give the same remainder as given by (p*q*r)/X
Let us understand this with the help of an example
#Q01. Find the remainder when (361*363) is divided by 12.
Steps:
1) Take the product of individual remainders, i.e. 361/12|R =1 and 363/12|R= 3
2) Find the remainder when you divide that product by the number (361*363)/12|R= (1*3)/12|R. answer= 3
This is Basic Remainder theorem put across in Numbers
#Q02. Find the remainder when 106 is divided by7 i.e. (106/7)R.
Solution:
106=103x103
Thus(106/7)R = (103/7 x 103/7)R = ((6 * 6)/7)R = (36/7)R = 1.
So the remainder is 1
