Problem
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 
in order for it to have the desired remainder
We now look for this one:
The number 
satisfies both conditions. We subtract the biggest multiple of less than 
to get the remainder. Thus, 
.
Solution 2 ~ More efficient for proofs
This two digit number must take the form of 
where 
and 
are integers 
to 
However, if x is an integer, we must have 
So, the number's new form is 
This needs to have a remainder of when divided by Because of the divisibility rule, we have ![\[10x+3 \equiv 1 \pmod 9.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/1/b/81bd1dd4cc2d0a7a8fbdc0621527fbf09a247538.png)
We subtract the three, getting ![\[10x \equiv -2 \pmod 9.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/c/a/cca71cc504fbbbbb7cf16ea9db3f692875897cf8.png)
which simplifies to ![\[10x \equiv 7 \pmod 9.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/d/e/4deff7bb0d81272c1c6815181dc6926512698872.png)
However, 
so ![\[10x - 9x \equiv 7 - 0 \pmod 9\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/a/2/8a2138dd6dcf59c80125e8a3e29ab2b643cf8c4c.png)
and ![\[x \equiv 7 \pmod 9.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/c/4/2c4300571cd8069b6f97f8141dc2e0cd6ab43afc.png)
Let the quotient of in our modular equation be 
and let our desired number be 
so 
and 
We substitute these values into 
and get ![\[z = 10(9c+7) + 3\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/c/7/fc7e72589a215f83b691eb52b7384a56d732c5da.png)
so ![\[z = 90c+73.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/a/d/8adddfa401df143bfe433152276c3963db2d582f.png)
As a result, 
- Alternatively, we could have also used a system of modular equations to immediately receive
To prove generalization vigorously, we can let 
be the remainder when 
is divided by 
Setting up a modular equation, we have ![\[90c + 73 \equiv a \pmod {11}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/4/f/e4fe56412012a1f52beafb9ffaa7754f4eafa04e.png)
Simplifying, ![\[90c+7 \equiv a \pmod {11}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/4/c/14c916c9ef4c36df1ecf74bfdbfe89e096f24f2e.png)
If 
then we don't have a 2 digit number! Thus, 
and
