Best answer

(i) Given 102 by 17

We can write given question as 102 ÷ 17

102 ÷ 17

= |102/17|

= |102|/|17| [by applying the mod]

= 102/17

= 6

(ii) Given -85 by 5

We can write given question as -85 ÷ 5

-85 ÷ 5

= |-85/5|

= |-85|/|5| [by applying the mod]

= -85/5

= -17

(iii) Given -161 by -23

We can write given question as -161 ÷ -23

-161 ÷ -23

= |-161/-23|

= |-161|/|-23| [by applying the mod]

= 161/23

= 7

(iv) Given 76 by -19

We can write given question as 76 ÷ -19

76 ÷ -19

= |76/-19|

= |76|/|-19| [by applying the mod]

= 76/-19

= -4

(v) Given 17654 by 17654

We can write given question as 17654 ÷ -17654

17654 ÷ -17654

= |17654/-17654|

= |17654|/|-17654| [by applying the mod]

= 17654/-17654

= -1

(vi) Given (-729) by (-27)

We can write given question as (-729) ÷ (-27)

(-729) ÷ (-27)

= |-729/-27|

= |-729|/|-27| [by applying the mod]

= 729/27

= 27

(vii) Given 21590 by -10

We can write given question as 21590 ÷ -10

21590 ÷ -10

= |21590/-10|

= |21590|/|-10| [by applying the mod]

= 21590/-10

= -2159

(viii) Given 0 by -135

We can write given question as 0 ÷ -135

0 ÷ -135 = 0 [because anything is divided by 0 we get the result as 0]
