If the divisor is 30 what is the least three digit dividend that would give a remainder of 8? Explain.

128

120 / 30 = 4 with a remainder of 8

Ok, let’s try to find the value of dividend base on the given information.

=> 30 is the divisor

=> the dividend is a 3 digit number, which is the least

=> remainder of 8

to Get the answer, let’s find the least number that can be divided with 30.

=> 30 * 1 = 30

=> 30 * 2 = 60

=> 30 * 3 = 90

=> 30 * 4 = 120, the least 3 digit number that is divisible with 30.

Now, let’s add 8 as remainder.

=> 120 + 8 = 128

=> 128 / 30 = 4 remainder 8
