The quotient is 163, and the remainder is 7. The divisor is less than 10. What are the dividend and divisor?

What students worked out6

  • Student 3

    since remainder is 7 and divisor is less than 10
    DIVISOR has to be either 8 or 9

    if divisor is 8 then dividend is 1311
    if divisor is 9 then dividend is 1474

  • Student 4

    Sir, the divisor is 9 and the dividend is 1474

  • Student 1

    dividend=1474 divisor=9

    • Student 1

      when divisor is 8 dividend is 1311 and quotient is 163 remainder 7

  • Student 8

    dividend=1474,divisor=9

  • Student 5

    divisor -9 dividend- 1311
    divisor -8 dividend- 1474
