The "random" numbers produced by computers aren't purely random. They are actually pseudo-random, meaning that they are produced by mathematical formulas that simulate randomness.The linear congruential generator takes a seed X0 and generates subsequent p...

In a sequence of four positive numbers, the first three are in geometric progression and the last three are in arithmetic progression. The first number is 12 and the last number is 452. The sum of the two middle numbers can be written as ab where a and b...

The number N can be written in the format : Dividend = Divisor * Quotient + Remainder as N = 2013 * Q + 1234 This can be written as N = 183 * 11 * Q + 1234 Dividing both sides by 183 , we get N/183 = 11 * Q + 1234/183 N/183 = 11 * Q + (1098 +136)/183 N/18...
