Hi Kukrejaria,

You have done it right. Why you are stuck ?

Divide by 8, you will get remainder as 6, if the remainder is 6, then it will stop at E.

If the remainder is 2, then it would have stopped at A.

If the remainder is 3, then it would have stopped at B.

That’s it, you just need to complete what you have started.

Hope this helps

I couldn’t comprehend that remainder will be the point that it will stop at.
