Question

what least number must be subtracted from 13801 to get number exactly divisible by 87

Answer 1

Solution:-
When we divide 13801 by 87,we get the quotient =158 and the remainder 55.

So,


13801=87×158+55
13801-55=87×158


Hence, the least number to be substrated from 13801 so that the number will be exactly divisible by 87 is 55.

Answer 2

Answer:

The least number to be subtracted from 13801 so that the number will be exactly divisible by 87 is 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A number must be subtracted from 13801 to get a number exactly divisible by 87.

To find:

the least number

Step 1

When we divide 13801 by 87,

quotient = 158 and the remainder = 55.

13801 = 87 × 158 + 55

13801 - 55 = 87 × 158

$\frac{13801}{87}=158 \quad$

Step 2

Convert to mixed number:

Quotient = $\frac{\text { Remainder }}{\text { Divisor }}$

$&\frac{13801}{87}=158 \frac{55}{87}$

$&=158 \frac{55}{87}$

Remainder 55

Step 3

If the number exists  55 less then it exists exactly divided by 87 by 158 times. The number 55 should be subtracted from 13801 to obtain a number divisible by 87.

Hence, the least number to be subtracted from 13801 so that the number will be exactly divisible by 87 is 55.
