Question

What least number should be added to 1200 so that 52 divides their sum exactly

Answer 1

Answer:

48 should be added to 1200. 1200 on division by 52 gives 48 as remainder and 23 as quotient. Hence, we add 48 and 1200 to get 1248 which is exactly divisible by 52 and gives quotient of 24.

Answer 2

$1200 \div 52 = 23$

23 quotient,4remainder

1200+(52-4)=1248
