Answer 1

hi

aim : to find What is the least number that should be subtracted from 924 to make it exactly divisible by 48

so firslt,

let us divide 924 by 48

=> 924/48

=> 19.25

secondly,

let us round off 19.25 to the nearest hundered

=> 19 [approx.]

thirdly,

let us multiply 19 and 48

=> 19*48

=>  912

so the number before 924 , which is divisible by 48  is 912

finally 


for finding  least number that should be subtracted from 924 to make it exactly divisible by 48

=> 924 - 912

=>12 

therfore 12 is  is the least number that should be subtracted from 924 to make it exactly divisible by 48

hope it helps u
