Solution 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number = 56x + 29 (∵ since the number gives 29 as remainder on dividing by 56)
= (7 × 8 × x) + (3 × 8) + 5
Hence, if the number is divided by 8, we will get 5 as remainder.

Solution 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number = 56x + 29
Let x = 1. Then the number = 56 × 1 + 29 = 85
85 ÷ 8 = 10, remainder = 5
