If a number is divided by 13, the remainder is 3. If 6 times of that number is divided by 13, then what is the remainder?
Please do not use algebra.

Imagine a large number of chips on a table. If we make stacks of size 13, we get a certain number of stacks with 3 chips remaining.
If we have 6 times as many chips to begin with, we get 6 times as many stacks of 13, and then 6 piles of 3, or a total of 18 chips not included in the stacks. We can stack up 13 of those, and we have 5 chips left over. So the remainder is 5.
No algebra!

@Riemann Thank you
@WaryWitchWandering Mostly that means that you just have to work up through the material if you are interested to learn.

@Classified to be honest… I’m not… but I always still wanna try my hand at a problem presented to me

@WaryWitchWandering That's fair. And if you grasp the problem then you learned something. 😄

@JimboSaturn Check for Classified's comment. He got it right.
