154. When positive integer n is divided by 3, the remainder is 2; and when positive integer t is divided by 5, the remainder is 3. what is the remainder when the product nt is divided by 15? 1) n-2 is divisible by 5 2) t is divisible by 3 Answer: C
n=3x+2, t=5y+3 n*t=15xy+9x+10y+6 if n-2 is divided by 5, n-2=3x can be divided by 5, so 9x=3*3x can be divided by 3*5=15 if t is divided by 3, t-3 can be divided by 3, then t-3=5y can be divided by 3, so y can be divided by 3, so 5y can be divided by 15. so n*t=15xy+9x+10y+6 is divided by 15, the reminder is 6.
n=3x+2, t=5y+3 n*t=15xy+9x+10y+6 if n-2 is divided by 5, n-2=3x can be divided by 5, so 9x=3*3x can be divided by 3*5=15 if t is divided by 3, t-3 can be divided by 3, then t-3=5y can be divided by 3, so y can be divided by 3, so 5y can be divided by 15. so n*t=15xy+9x+10y+6 is divided by 15, the reminder is 6.
