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?

@Classified Correct. Please explain.

@Riemann In this case, you only need to multiply the original remainder by 6 and divide that by 13. so in this case 3*6 = 18 and 18/13 leaves a remainder of 5.

@Riemann The problem is in my reading not my arithmetic lol.

@JimboSaturn Pffft xD

@Riemann Trick question , no fair :P

@Classified my mind does not work this way

@WaryWitchWandering I didn't elaborate it completely either, because I didn't explain why that was all that was needed. That can be a hassle over text. 😅

@Classified Your explanations are nice.

@Classified nah I’m a lost cause… I dropped out of algebra in school

@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. 😄
