A remainder of zero is obtained whenever the number is divided by its factor. For example, when 20 is divided by either 1,2,4,5,10 or 20 the remainder is zero. Every number has 1 as its divisor.Infact, this is the definition of divisor- a number which divides another number to return zero as the remainder.
Let's break down the information given: "The mystery number is prime." This means the mystery number is a prime number. "The number one less than the mystery number has factors 2 and 9." This implies that (mystery number - 1) has factors 2 and 9. In other words: (mystery number - 1) = 2 * 9 (mystery number - 1) = 18 Now, let's solve for the mystery number: mystery number = 18 + 1 mystery number = 19 "The number two more than the mystery number is a multiple of 5." This means (mystery number + 2) is divisible by 5. In other words: (mystery number + 2) is divisible by 5 Let's check if 21 (19 + 2) is divisible by 5: 21 รท 5 = 4 with a remainder of 1 Since 21 is not evenly divisible by 5 (there is a remainder of 1), the statement is false. So, the mystery number is 19, which is a prime number, but the number two more than the mystery number (21) is not a multiple of 5.
