Six consecutive whole numbers are each divided by 6. Find the sum of the resulting six remainders

FYI this is the english section, not math.

anyway.

6 consectuve whole numbers are each divided by 6. find the sum of the resulting 6 remainders

so x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4, x+5

lets say that x=6

first one=no remainder

2nd=Remainder=1

3rd, R=2

4th R=3

5th R=4

6th R=5

addthem all tother (1+2+3+4+5) and get 15

if x=1 then

1st R=1

2nd R=2

3rd R=3

4th R=4

5th R=5

6th R=0

notice that we get 1+2+3+4+5 same as the first equation so the answer sill always be 15
