What does it mean to successively divide by 8 and 11?
For example, if we begin with 51 and divide by 8 we get 6 with remainder 3.
Now what? Do we take the 6 and divide by 11, or do we somehow include the remainder?
After all, 51 divided by 8 does not equal 6. So, we really should include the remainder of 3 somewhere when we divide by 11.
Since it's unclear what we're supposed to do here, I think the question should be reworded to clearly express its message.
What's the source of this question?
Cheers,
Brent
