hi
we devide99999 by55 then remainder is 449, but in 9[11111]/5*11
if we devide 9by5 & 11111by 1 & multiply them the ans do not come
could anyone please explain
Also if we devide by 550 the same answer is got why?
 
How do you manage to divide by 55 and get a remainder of 449?

99999/55 = 1818 r 9

Boy, sujoy, you sure are careless...

99999 / 550 = 181 remainder 449 : NOT 99999/55 !

9(11111) / (5*110) = 99999 / 550 : you DO NOT divide by 5 then multiply by 110; you divide by (5*110).

Simple example:
40/4*2 = 10*2 = 20
40/(4*2) = 40/8 = 5 ... clear?
 
I must beg sorry for being careless
thank you all for clearing my doubts
regards
