Question

I need to know the working as how we arrived at answer 17 for question that what should be added to 100056 to get number completely divisible by 23

Answer 1

When we will divide 100056 by 23 then we will get quotient = 4350

and remainder = 6

Now 4350 * 23 = 100050

So the next number be completely divisible by 23 would be 100073

but we have 100056 as our number,

So 100073 - 100056 = 17

So we have 17 as the least number to be added to 100056 to make it completely divisible by 23
