(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The correct answer is 1 time. When you subtract 6 from 36 once, you get 30. You cannot continue subtracting 6 from 30 to reach zero. Thank you for your input.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is [B]incorrect[/B]. The question pertains to basic math operations, not negative numbers. The correct answer is once because after subtracting 6 from 36, it becomes 30, and so on.

Hi, 6 can be subtracted only once from 36 ..... the logic is when 6 is subtracted from 36 the reminder is 30 and not 36..... Bhupesh

Fully agree with Abirami, ofcourse 6 can be substract only one time from 36 i.e.
(36-6=30) which is correct answer. You are in confusion as you think that you have to substract 36 from 6 i.e. again (6-36= -30).

HI..FRIEND,
according to me, the answer will be infinite.
why?
36-6=30
30-6=24
24-6=18
18-6=12
12-6=6
6-6=0
0-6=-6
-6-6=-12

so on.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is incorrect as the question asked in the original post is a mathematical one, not a psychological assessment. The correct answer is only once, as the question asks how many times you can subtract 6 from 36, not the consecutive results.
