Question

If the 102,619 residents of a city are divided into 57 equal groups, then some residents don’t fit into a group.

How many residents would be in a group?

How many residents would not fit into a group?

Answer 1

Hey there! Here is your answer:

102,600 would be in a group. 19 would not be in a group.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure this out by doing 102,619 divided by 57. This gives us:

1,800 R 19

Now we need to multiply 1800 by 57 to see how many residents there are:

1,800 x 57 = 102,600

Our remainder tells us how many residents would not fit into a group. Since our remainder is 19, 19 would not be in a group.

I hope this helps!
