Question

If you divide the number 1003 by 5, then the remainder is equal to:

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 1
• D. 3

Hint:

To instantly find the remainder of any massive integer divided by 5, look exclusively at the final digit: - If the last digit is $\lt 5$, the remainder is the last digit itself. - If the last digit is $\ge 5$, the remainder is $(\text{last digit} - 5)$. For 1003, the last digit is 3, which is less than 5. Hence, the remainder is immediately 3.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Divide.
$5\times200=1000$, $1003-1000=3$. \[ \boxed{3} \]
