If you have installed php 7.1 then this line work on your system.

sudo apt install php7.1-bcmath

check your php version in your system on ubuntu 16.04

php -v

and then result show there..

PHP 7.1.x+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Aug 19 2018 07:16:12) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.9-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

The following worked for me on Centos 7.4 with PHP 7.1 using remi repository.

First find out which PHP version I have:

[kiat@reporting ~]$ php --version
PHP 7.1.33 (cli) (built: Oct 23 2019 07:28:45) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.1.33, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

Then search for bcmath extension in remi-php71 repository:

[kiat@reporting ~]$ yum search php71 | grep bcmath
php71-php-bcmath.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications for using the bcmath
php71u-bcmath.x86_64 : A module for PHP applications for using the bcmath

Now install the first matching extension:

[kiat@reporting ~]$ sudo yum --enablerepo=remi-php71 install php-bcmath
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
base                                                     | 3.6 kB     00:00
.
.
.

Finally, restart php and nginx:

[kiat@reporting ~]$ sudo systemctl restart php-fpm nginx

If you want to enable any extension then you have to install an extension first, extension maybe enabled but not installed, so taking the example of bcmath

  1. yum search php-bcmath

  2. Then ensure the php version in which u want to install this extension

  3. You will get output like after yum search command>>

yum search php-bcmath** Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, universal-hooks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Or

sudo systemctl realod httpd

If you don't use Apache

sudo systemctl reload php-fpm.service

To see the activated modules

I found that the repo that had the package was not enabled. On OEL7,

$ vi /etc/yum.repos.d/ULN-Base.repo
Set enabled to 1 for ol7_optional_latest

$ yum install php-bcmath

and that worked...

I used the following command to find where the package was

$ yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo \*-source --disablerepo C5.\*,c5-media,\*debug\*,\*-source list \*bcmath
