Question

What number is nearest to 457 which is divisible by 11?

Answer 1

Answer:

451

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires simple division whereby if we have a remainder we must indicate it.

In this case we will take 457 divided by 11.

We do this as follows :

457/11 = 46 remainder 6.

It means for 457 to be divisible by 11 we must subtract 6 from 457.

When we do this we get :

457 - 6 = 451

Alternatively we could add 5 to 457 to make it divisible by 11.

457 + 5 = 462

Comparing 462 and 451 we realise that 462 is closer to 457 than 451 since the difference is just 5.

Therefore 462 is divisible by 11 and it is the closest number to 457 that is divisible by 11 compared to 451.

Answer 2

Answer:

462 is nearest to 457 which is divisible by 11

Step-by-step explanation:

What number is nearest to 457 which is divisible by 11?

457 /11 =  41.55

457 = 41 * 11 + Remainder

457 = 451 + Remainder

=> remainder = 6

two nearest number to 457 divisible by 11 would be

457 - Remainder   & 457 - remainder + 11

457 - Remainder  = 457 -6 = 451

457 - remainder + 11 = 457 -6 + 11 = 462

457 - 451 = 6

462 - 457 = 5  

5 < 6

=> 462 is closer to 457  than 451

hence 462 is nearest to 457 which is divisible by 11
