When a number is divided by 5 and the result is 247 with a remainder, one possible dividend is 1236.
The quotient of a number is the number that is gotten when a number is divided by another number. For example, the quotient of 10 and 2 is 5.
An unknown number was divided by 5 and the result was 247 with a remainder. In order to determine the number the first step is to determine the product of 247 and 5.
247 x 5 = 1235
Since the number has a remainder, the number cannot be exactly 1235. The number would lie between 1235 and 1240. The numbers can be 1236, 1237, 1238 and 1239.
