Answer : 2. "1 "
Explanation :
Let number (dividend) be X.
∴ X = 296 × Q + 75 where Q is the quotient and can have the values 1, 2, 3 etc.
= 37 × 8 × Q + 37 × 2 + 1
= 37 (8Q + 2) + 1
Thus we see that the remainder is 1.
[Remark : When the second divisor is a factor of the first divisor, the second remainder is obtained by dividing the first remainder by the second divisor.
Hence, divide 75 by 37, the remainder is 1].
