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

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 1
• D. 3

Hint:

To find the remainder when dividing by 5, check the last digit: - If it ends in 1, remainder is 1; 2 means remainder 2; etc. Here, 1003 ends in 3, so remainder is 3.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To find the remainder when 1003 is divided by 5, we perform: \[ 1003 \div 5 \] Divide: \[ 5 \times 200 = 1000 \quad \Rightarrow \text{Quotient is } 200 \] \[ \text{Remainder } = 1003 - 1000 = \boxed{3} \] So, 1003 divided by 5 leaves a remainder of 3.
