What is the remainder when the product \(121 \times 122 \times 124\) is divided by 7?

  • A.2
  • B.4
  • C.6
  • D.0

Answer: A

We find the remainder of each number when divided by 7 individually and then multiply the remainders.

Remainder of \(121 \div 7\) is 2 (since \(121 = 17 \times 7 + 2\)).

Remainder of \(122 \div 7\) is 3 (since \(122 = 17 \times 7 + 3\)).

Remainder of \(124 \div 7\) is 5 (since \(124 = 17 \times 7 + 5\)).

The remainder of the overall product is the remainder of \((2 \times 3 \times 5) \div 7\).

\(2 \times 3 \times 5 = 30\).

Now, we find the remainder of \(30 \div 7\).

\(30 = 4 \times 7 + 2\).

The remainder is 2.
