Given: Dividend = 1365, Quotient = 31 and Remainder = 32

Let us consider, Divisor as a number y.

To Find: The value of y

As per Euclid’* lemma, we have

Dividend = (divisor \times quotient) + remainder

After substituting the values, we get

1365 = (y × 31) + 32

1365 – 32 = 31y

1333 = 31y

or y = 1333/31 = 43

So, 1365 should be divided by 43 to get 31 as quotient and 32 as remainder.
