What is the remainder of 53 divded by 9?

Answer 1

The remainder is 8.

To find the remainder when a number is divided by 9, add the digits together; if this sum has more than 1 digit, repeat until one digit remains. This digit is the remainder, unless it is 9 in which case the remainder is 0.

examples:

remainder 53 → 5 + 3 = 8 → remainder is 8 when 53 is divided by 9.

remainder 126 → 1 + 2 + 6 = 9 → remainder is 0, ie no remainder, 126 is divisible by 9.

remainder 258 → 2 + 5 + 8 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6 → remainder is 6 when 258 is divided by 9.
