Question

what is the least number that must be added to 5234 to make it exactly divisible by 8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 is the least number that must be added to make 5234 exactly divisible by 8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

divided the no. by 8 and then a remainder will be remaining. Substract the remainder from the no. 5234 to get the exact no. divisible by 4

SOLN. :

5234/8 = 754 (QUOTIENT) & 2 (REMAINDER)

Now subs. 2 from 5234 = 5234-2

= 5232

Now divide 5232 by 8, no remainder will be remaining.

SO 2 IS THE LEAST NO. WHICH MUST BE SUBSTRACTED FROM 5234 TO GET A NO. PERFECTLY DIVISIBLE BY 8.
