1) By polynomial method
Let us see the polynomial expansions...
a + b = (a + b)(ba - ba + ... - ba + ba) (For n>1 and odd)
a - b = (a - b)(ba + ba + ... + ba + ba)
So from above polynomial expansions we can say that
(x + 1) is divisible by (x + 1) only when n is odd
So (67 + 1) is divisible by (67 + 1)
i.e (67 + 1) is divisible by 68
Now for the given problem we can write
(67 + 67) = (67 + 1) + 66
but (67 + 1) is divisible by 68. So remainder for first term (67 + 1) is 0.
And remainder for second term 66 is equal to 66. (66/68 then remainder = 66).
So total remainder = 0 + 66 = 66.
So when (67 + 1) + 66 is divided by 68 then it will give 66 as remainder.
Hence when (67 + 67) is divided by 68 then remainder is 66.
2) By using
According to The Polynomial Remainder Theorem
"If a polynomial f(x) is divided by another polynomial (x−c) then the remainder is always equal to f(c)"
So Given problem equation can be written as
Lets assume 67 = x. Above equation can be written as
Here, to apply The Polynomial Remainder Theorem,
f(x) = x + x
c = −1
By applying The Polynomial Remainder Theorem
f(−1) = −1 + (−1)
f(−1) = −2
Here the remainder we got is negative. But remainder can not be negative. So to convert negative remainder into positive, divisor is added to negative remainder. So,
−2 + 68 = 66
So the remainder is 66.

3) By trial and error method
2 + 2 divided by 3
= 4 + 2
=6
so when 6 divided by 3 then remainder = 0
3 + 3 divided by 4
= 27 + 3
=30
so when 30 divided by 4 then remainder = 2
So by doing calculations like this we can get
2 + 2 divided by 3 then remainder = 0
3 + 3 divided by 4 then remainder = 2
4 + 4 divided by 5 then remainder = 0
5 + 5 divided by 6 then remainder = 4
6 + 6 divided by 7 then remainder = 0
So by observing above examples we can say
x + x is divided by (x+1) then the remainder is (x-1) where x is odd number
So now we can say when 67 + 67 is divided by 68 then remainder is 66.Statistics: Posted by PrepareBetter.in — Sun Jan 24, 2016 5:02 pm
