i tried to solve it with the options but any of them did not work, n=0, 31\1 , n=1, 6\31 , n=2, 25+2= 27, 27/31, n=3, 125+3=128\31(31 can divides 123 but not 128) , n=4 625+4=629/31 (31 can divides 620 not 629 ) so, maybe the options in this test are wrong or i just did not understand the question

Yes they are wrong

1/31 is not an integer 6/31 is not an integer 27/31 is not an integer 128/31 is not an integer 629/31 is not an integer
