Tips for this exercise

Give the complete requested resultQuestion 2 asks for every valid two-digit divisor. Question 8 has two separate answers. The remaining questions ask for one final number.
Check the original division storyUse N = dq + r and always verify 0 ≤ r < d. For cycles, verify the whole repeating state before jumping ahead.

Division conventions: the divisor is positive; the quotient and remainder are nonnegative whole numbers, with 0 ≤ r < d. A three-digit integer is from 100 through 999. “Positive” excludes zero.

Class size from an equal distribution

Not answered

A class with fewer than 60 students bought 310 exercise books. Every student receives as many whole books as possible, with equal numbers for everyone and 37 books left over. How many students are in the class?

Optional factor-and-filter work
2

List every possible two-digit divisor

Not answered

When 474 is divided by a two-digit number, the remainder is 6. List all two-digit divisors that satisfy this condition.

Optional complete factor list
3

Add two remainder classes

Not answered

A nonnegative whole number a leaves remainder 3 when divided by 7. A nonnegative whole number b leaves remainder 4 when divided by 7. What remainder does a+b leave when divided by 7?

mod 7
Optional remainder calculation
4

Multiply a remainder

Not answered

A nonnegative whole number leaves remainder 3 when divided by 7. What remainder does three times that number leave when divided by 7?

mod 7
Optional remainder calculation
5

Recover a dividend from four quantities

Not answered

When one nonnegative whole number is divided by a positive whole number, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 8. The dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder add to 415. What is the dividend?

Optional division equation
6

Align four remainder conditions

Not answered

Find the least positive whole number that leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3, remainder 2 when divided by 4, remainder 3 when divided by 5, and remainder 4 when divided by 6.

least value
Optional alignment or LCM work
7

A distant term in a recursive sequence

Not answered

Observe the sequence:

4, 5, 9, 14, 23, …

Beginning with the third term, each term is the sum of the two preceding terms. What remainder does the 2,014th term leave when divided by 3?

mod 3
Optional remainder-cycle table
8

Two different three-digit numbers with the same remainder

Not answered

Two different three-digit numbers leave the same remainder when divided by 13.

What is the greatest possible sum of the two numbers? What is the greatest possible difference (larger minus smaller) between them? Find the two maxima separately; they do not have to come from the same pair.

Optional extremal reasoning
9

Recover another dividend

Not answered

When one nonnegative whole number is divided by a positive whole number, the quotient is 17 and the remainder is 13. The dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder add to 2,113. What is the dividend?

whole number
Optional division equation
10

Quotient–remainder conditions under two divisors

Not answered

A positive integer has the following two properties:

  • When divided by 11, its quotient equals its remainder.
  • When divided by 9, its quotient is three times its remainder.

What is the positive integer?

number
Optional family intersection

Align outward and return rest points

Not answered

A cyclist trains between places A and B, which are 950 km apart. Starting from A, the cyclist rests every 90 km on the outward trip. After reaching B, the cyclist rests for one day and returns along the same route, resting every 100 km. Only rest points along the route are counted; exclude the endpoints A and B. Exactly one return-trip rest point is also an outward-trip rest point.

How far is this common rest point from A?

km
Optional route-position reasoning
12

Repeat a two-digit block and divide

Not answered

Choose any two-digit number. Repeat that same two-digit block three more times, producing an eight-digit number made from four identical blocks.

Divide the eight-digit number by the original two-digit number. Then divide the resulting quotient by 9. What remainder is obtained?

Clarification of the worked example wording“Repeat it three times” means append three additional copies after the original block, so the final eight-digit number contains four copies in all.
