If (m) leaves remainder 4 when divided by 17, what is the remainder when (m-23) is divided by 17?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 15
Step 1: Write (m=17q+4). Step 2: (m-23=17q-19=17(q-2)+15), so the remainder is 15. Step 3: If subtraction gives a negative remainder, add the divisor as needed.
