A Little Dividing
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:47 pm
I don't recall whether or not I presented this to you at an earlier time—so I'll take the chance.
Pick any positive integer which is less than 104, then divide it by 3, then 5, and finally 7, and post your results. I'll then tell you in a post what your number is.
For example, suppose you picked the interger 78. When you divide it by 3, you get 26, with a remainder of 0. when you divide it by 5, you get 15, with a remainder of 3. Finally, when you divide it by 7 you get 11, with a remainder of 1.
You would post 0,3,1 in that order.
With that information, I would post the integer you chose, namely 78.
Can I really do it? Post your remainders (in the correct order) and I'll try.
