Answer 1

Calculation:

To find the remainder when 5831 is divided by 9, we can use the concept of modular arithmetic.

The remainder when a number is divided by 9 is the same as the remainder when the sum of its digits is divided by 9.

So, let's find the sum of the digits of 5831:

5 + 8 + 3 + 1 = 17

Now, we need to find the remainder when 17 is divided by 9:

17 ÷ 9 = 1 remainder 8

Therefore, the remainder when 5831 is divided by 9 is 8.

∴ Option 2 is the correct answer.
