How about 89 divided by 98?mensanumber wrote:If a two digit integer is divided by an integer formed by reversing its digits, what could be the maximum remainder?
1) 9
2)27
3)36
4)45
5) 54
89 divided by 98 equals 0 with remainder 89
I don't see 89 as an answer choice.
Am I missing something?
Cheers,
Brent
