How to do

Answer 1

By using division algorithm:
Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder

According to the que,
Divided=46216
Divisor=258
Remainder=34

46216=258×179+34

To find the least no. we use

least number = divisor - remainder
Least no.= 258-34
Least no.= 224

Hence, the least no.which is divisible by 46216 is 224
