Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• So we need to find the least number to be added to the given number.
• So we need to divide 8492 / 72
•                       72)8492 (117
•                            72
•                    -----------------
•                            129
•                              72
•                    ---------------------
•                              572
•                              504
•                   ----------------------
•                                 68
• So we get the remainder as 68
•             Now 72 – 68 = 4
• Now if we add 4 + 8492 we get 8496 which is divisible by the given number 72.
• Therefore the least number will be 4
