Question

Solve for the unknown whole number in the following expressions
z ÷ 19= 4 R 16

Answer 1

We can solve for the unknown whole number by using the formula:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

In this case, the dividend is z, the divisor is 19, the quotient is the unknown whole number, and the remainder is 16. We can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the unknown whole number:

z = 19 × Quotient + 16

To isolate the variable (Quotient), we can subtract 16 from both sides:

z - 16 = 19 × Quotient

Then, we can divide both sides by 19 to solve for Quotient:

Quotient = (z - 16) ÷ 19

Therefore, the unknown whole number is (z - 16) ÷ 19.
