Question:

Without performing actual division, find the remainder when 928174653 is divided by 11.

Solution:

$928174653=$ A multiple of $11+$ (Sum of its digits at odd places - Sum of its digits at even places)

$928174653=$ A multiple of $11+\{(9+8+7+6+3)-(2+1+4+5)\}$

$928174653=$ A multiple of $11+(33-12)$

$928174653=$ A multiple of $11+21$

$928174653=$ A multiple of $11+(11 \times 1+10)$

$928174653=$ A multiple of $11+10$

Therefore, the remainder is 10
