$\bold{OPTION\:2)\:999894\: is\:correct.}$

$\mathbf{\underline{\star{Step-by-step\:\:Explanation\star-}}}$

$\mathrm{On\:dividing\:1\:million}$

$\mathsf{by\:\:537,\:we\:get-}$

$\mathrm{= 100000 \div 537}$

$\mathrm{\implies\:100000= 537 \times 1862 + 106}$

$\texttt{(Written\:in\:the\:form-}$

$\texttt{Dividend=Divisor*Quotient+Remainder)}$

$\mathrm{We\:get\:106\:as\:remainder.}$

$\mathrm{Therefore,}$

$\mathrm{The\:nearest\:whole \:number\:to}$

$\mathrm{1\:million\:which\:is\:divisible\:by\:537\:is-}$

$\mathrm{=100000 - 106}$

$\mathrm{=999894}$

$\mathsf{Hence,the\:required\:number\:is\:999894.}$
