Question

Find the least number that should be subtracted from 80,600 that the result is exactly divisible by 91. (Hint: you have to subtract the remainder from 80,600) please send me fast​

Answer 1

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

80600/91 = 885.71...  - (1)

let,

(in euclid's division lemma)

q = 885 (from (1))

r = 0

b = 91

a = ?

Euclid's division lemma states that, "if we have two positive integers a and b, then there would be whole numbers q and r that satisfy the equation: a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b."

i.e., a = bq + r

implies that,

a = (91)(885)+10

Therefore,

a = 80535

also,

a = 80600 - 5

Hence, 5 is the least number that should be subtracted from 80,600 that the result is exactly divisible by 91.
