Guess what? You can attend the first session of any of our online or in-person GMAT courses absolutely free\u2014we\u2019re not kidding! <\/i><\/b>Check out our upcoming courses here<\/i><\/b><\/a>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/i><\/b>One common complaint I hear from my students is that they \u2018haven\u2019t done math like this since high school.\u2019 And they\u2019re pretty much right: the concepts in the Quant section are by and large wrapped up by Algebra II. But for some subjects, my students drastically underestimate how long it has been since they\u2019ve thought about them. One such subject: remainders on the GMAT.<\/span><\/p>\n The last time you probably thought about remainders was early middle school. When you learned long division, you started with things that divided perfectly, and then you learned \u201c25 \u00f7\u00a07 is 3 with 4 left over, so we say it is 3 remainder 4.\u201d But then pretty quickly, you learned about fractions and decimals, so you just said \u201c25 \u00f7\u00a07 is 3 and 4\/7.\u201d Eventually, you just started leaving it as ’25\/7′ and didn\u2019t even worry about it anymore. Remainders, like Destiny\u2019s Child<\/span> and the purest joys of childhood, faded into distant memory.<\/span><\/p>\n
