Question

The largest four digit number exactly divisible by 88 is

Answer 1

Largest 4 digit number = 9999. 9999÷ 88 = 113, remainder = 55. Hence largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88 = 9999 - 55 = 9944.

Answer 2

Concept:

When we divide any number suppose 'x' by another number suppose 'y' then if the remainder came out to be 0, we can say that the number 'x' is divisible by the number 'y'.

Given:

The number by which the largest four digit number should get exactly divisible is 88.

Find:

The largest four digit number which is exactly divisible by 88.

Solution:

The largest four digit number is 9999

If we divide 9999 by 88 we will get 55 as a remainder

With this, we can observe that the actual number which should get exactly divisible by 88 or, in other words, the number which will give zero as remainder if we divide it by 88 will be 55 less than 9999.

Which means

actual number = 9999 - 55

actual number = 9944

Hence, 9944 will be the largest number which is exactly divisible by 88 as it is the highest four digit number giving 0 as the remainder when divided by 88.
