The number 
is a two-digit number.
• When is divided by 
, the remainder is 
.
• When is divided by 
, the remainder is 
.
What is the remainder when is divided by 
?
Solution 1
From the second bullet point, we know that the second digit must be . Because there is a remainder of when it is divided by , the multiple of must end in a 
. We now look for this one:
The number 
satisfies both conditions. We subtract the biggest multiple of less than 
to get the remainder. Thus,
