Question

"If a number divided by 4 leaves remainder 2 or 3", then which one is the correct statement 'n why?

Answer 1

Answer:

As the number is a prime number. Therefore, option 'c' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the number 7 and divide it by 4

$\frac{7}{4}$

We know that

• $Quotient\frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$

as

$\frac{7}{4}=1\frac{3}{4}$

so the remainder is 3.      ∵ $Quotient\frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$

As 7 is a prime number, and when we divide the prime number 7 by 4, we get the remainder 3.

Thus, the number is a prime number. Therefore, option 'c' is true.
