Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least number that should be added to 575 so that it can be divisible by 16,

divide the number 575 by 16 and find the remainder.

So, dividing 575 by 16

16)~575~(35\\~~~~~\underline{~560~}\\~~~~~~~15)~16~(1\\~~~~~~~~~~~\underline{~15~}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1

We can see that, on dividing 575 by 16, it leaves a remainder 1.

If we add 1 to 575,

575+1=576

the result is 576, and 576 divided by 16 is equal to 36.

The number that is exactly divisible by 16 is 576.

To get 576, 1 is added to 575.

So, the least number that should be added to 575 to get a number exactly divisible by 16 is 1.
