Answer:
hii friend here is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
10000=237k+r . The k is not important but r is as it's the remainder. I assume you know how to get the remainder by dividing 10000 by 237.
Can you now see that adding the least number l to r so that l+r=237 will give you the required answer?
Well it's because:
10000+l=237k+r+l=237(k+1).
This is clearly divisible by 237.
