Problem
The number 
is a two-digit number.
• When is divided by 
, the remainder is 
.
• When is divided by 
, the remainder is 
.
What is the remainder when is divided by 
?
Solution 1
From the second bullet point, we know that the second digit must be , for a number divisible by ends in zero. Since there is a remainder of when is divided by , the multiple of must end in a 
for it to have the desired remainder
We now look for this one:
The number 
satisfies both conditions. We subtract the biggest multiple of less than 
to get the remainder. Thus, 
.

Solution 3
We know that the number has to be one more than a multiple of , because of the remainder of one, and the number has to be more than a multiple of , which means that it has to end in a . Now, if we just list the first few multiples of adding one to the number we get: 
. As we can see from these numbers, the only one that has a three in the denominator is , thus we divide by , getting 
, hence, 
.

We could also remember that, for a two-digit number to be divisible by , the sum of its digits has to be equal to . Since the number is one more than a multiple of , the multiple we are looking for has a ones digit of , and therefore a tens digit of 
, and then we could proceed as above. -vaisri
