On dividing a number by 38, we get 90 as quotient and 19 as remainder. What is the number?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 3439
Division works backwards by the rule dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.
The quotient 90 means the number holds 90 full lots of 38: \(38\times90=3420\)
Adding the 19 left over as the remainder: number \(=3420+19=3439\)
