Can anyone me with this division and remainder problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a division and remainder problem posed by a music teacher seeking assistance. The equation presented is unclear, but it is interpreted as "w divided by 81 equals 26 remainder 3." To solve for w, the equation can be rewritten as (w / 81) = 26 + (3/81). Multiplying both sides by 81 yields the value of w. The conversation emphasizes clarifying notation for accurate problem-solving.

Is there any chance someone can help me solve this? Music teacher with absolutely no idea how to solve this. Thanl you so much.

? w!81 = 26r3 (the goal is to find the first number, and explain how you figured it out)

Can you explain the notation? It is not standard mathematical notation.
 
Perhaps @Victoriacv meant to type: w divided by 81 equals 26 remainder 3. If that is the case, then you can rewrite as (w / 81) = 26 + (3/81), then multiply both sides by 81 and get the value of w.
