Question

find the least number should be added to 10,000 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 237

Answer 1

Answer: 43

Step-by-step explanation:

237 * 43 = 10,191

Least number = 10191 - 10000 = 191.

Take first two digits of 237 and three digits of 10000.

23 * 4 =92

23 * 5 = 115

So the multiplier should lie between 40 and 50.

237 * 40 = 9480 which is 520 less than 10000.

So the multiplier will be 43.
