Let's try to get something that would work for just 5 for now. Any of these numbers would leave a remainder of 1 when divided by just 5: 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, ... Notice that they all look like 5*(something) + 1. Basically, they are all multiples of 5 plus 1.
Let's see what would work for just 8: 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 73, 81, 89, ...
Are there any matches... AHA! It's 81. This is the lowest positive integer greater than 1 that follows the rule for both 5 and 8.
First, find the area of the rectangle. 14.1x7=98.7.
Then, we need to find the area of the circle and subtract it from the area of the rectangle.
The area of the circle is pi*r^2. so, pi*3.5^2 is about 38.48. (The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be 3.5).
Since there are two halves of the circle, we can just subtract 38.48 from 98.7 so get the area of the shaded region. So, the area of the yellow area is 60.22in^2.
