Question

Find the least number which should be subtracted from 26583 so that the difference is exactly divisible by 35

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Well, try dividing 27583 by 35 to begin with and find out how much you have left over:

27583 / 35 = 788.085714286

So, we know that 35 goes into 27583 at least 788 times evenly. So then we need to find out how much 788 times 35 is.

788 x 35 = 27580

That’s now our number that is evenly divided by 35. So what’s the difference between 27583 and 27580?

27583 - 27580 = 3

So, that’s you’re answer - 3. You need to subtract 3 from 27583 to become evenly divisible by 35.
