Question

What least number must be subtracted from 5788 to get a number divisible by 37?

Answer 1

Given: The least number must be subtracted from$5788$ to get a number divisible by$37$.

We have to find the least number.

For this, we will first devide$5788$ by$37$, then we will multiply the remainder by$37$ then we will get the number.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The least number must be subtracted from$5788$ to get a number divisible by$37$.

Now,

$=\frac{5788}{37} \\\\=156.43$

Then,

$=156\times37\\=5772$

Now,

$=5788-5772\\=16$

Hence, the least number is$16$.

Hence, subtract $16$from $5788$to get $5772$which is divisible by$37$.
