Answer 1

Given :

The given number is = 248555

The amount by which this 1st number exceeds by a 2nd number = 17645

To Find :

What is that 2nd number ?

So according to the question we can write the following equation :

248555 = x + 17645

Or , x = 248555- 17645

          = 230910

Hence , the required number is 230910 .
