Question

what is the least number that should be subtracted from 18448 to make it exactly divisible by 48

Answer 1

It is: 16 because 18448-16 = 18432 and 18432/48 = 384

Answer 2

Answer:

16 is the least number that should be subtracted from 18448 to make it exactly divisible by 48 .

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :what is the least number that should be subtracted from 18448 to make it exactly divisible by 48

Solution :

Divisor = 48

Dividend = 18448

$Dividend = (Divisor \times quotient)+remainder$

$18448= (48 \times 384)+16$

On dividing 18448 by 48 we get remainder is 16

So, 18448 - 16 = 18432

$Dividend = (Divisor \times quotient)+remainder$

$18432= (48 \times 384)+0$

So, 18432 is exactly divisible by 48

Hence 16 is the least number that should be subtracted from 18448 to make it exactly divisible by 48 .
