Question

What smallest number should be subtracted from the number 13 456 to get a numbr divisible by 10?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to apply the concept of divisibility test of 10.

Given condition:

The number given to us is 13456 and we have to bring it down to such a number which is divisible by 10 and also the number subtracted from 13456 should be least.

We know that a given number is divisible by 10 if and only if its units place is 0.

Therefore we have to bring the units place of 13456 to 0 by subtracting some value (provided the vale subtracted is least possible one).

By observation we can say that if we subtract 6 from 13456 we get

13456-6=13450

Since the unit's digit is 0 therefore its divisible by 10

Hence the smallest number to be subtracted is 6.

Hope this helps.
