(a) If repeated divisons by 20,483 are performed, how many distinct remainders can be obtained?
(b)When 5/20483 is wrieeen as a decimal, what is the maximum length of the repeating section of the representation?
(a)
The number of distinct remainder if repeated divisions by
Given information:
The repeated divisions by
Calculation:
The repeated divisions by
It is known that quotient-remainder theorem states that remainder must lie between
And it is given in question that it is a repeated division by
(b)
The representation of the maximum length of the repeating section when
