I really appreciate these videos. When I did a first test exam, I was a little overwhelmed. These vids really help recognizing the pattern and structuring the approach! I dodn't feel as lost anymore :D Great work!
For the last question about the remainder: Why is the remainder of 14/5 still 4?? 14/5 = 2,8 so isn't the remainder 8?? I know that option is not available between the answer options, but I don't understand the logic of the answer.
Hey Arnaud, you don’t have to divide the number completely to get a remainder as the decimal value. Remainder doesn’t work that way. For e.g. when you divide 2 by 2 then 2 divides 2 completely, hence remainder is 0. But when you divide 3 by 2, the remainder (the part which is left out) is 1. If I go by your logic, then let’s say, I divide 11 by 4 then 11/4 = 2.75, hence by your logic, remainder will be 75, which is incorrect. Hence, coming to your original doubt, when 14/5 then remainder will be 4. Remember when finding out the remainder, don’t include decimal point, just divide the number till you can and the part of the number which will be left out will be the remainder. Also, remember, remainder is always smaller than the divisor. Hope your doubt is clear now.
Whitley! You are a great teacher!

So glad to hear that!
Great saving time tips :)
Really good you seem as if you would be an excellent GMAT quant instructor.
