Question

8. Find the greatest number of 5-digits which is exactly divişible by 59. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest 5 digit number is 99999. Let us assume that it is divisible my 59.

To check, we divide 99999 by 59.

99999=59∗1694+53

This leaves us with a remainder of 53. What this means is that 99999 is 53 more than the previous multiple of 59. Hence we subtract 53 from 99999 to get 99946.

You can check, 99946=1694∗59 . It is the largest 3 digit number divisible by 59 as 1695∗59=100005 .
