What least number must be added to 1056 to get a number exactly divisi

1.	What least number must be added to 1056 to get a number exactly divisible by 23?
Answer» 1056 ÷ 23 , quotient = 45, remainder = 19 Since remainder is not zero. So, 1056 is not exactly divisible by 23 So, we take next multiple of 23. Next multiple = 46 So, 23 * 46 = 1058 So, 1058 is exactly divisible by 23 . 1958 - 1056 = 2

What least number must be added to 1056 to get a number exactly divisible by 23?

Answer»

1056 ÷ 23 , quotient = 45, remainder = 19

Since remainder is not zero.

So, 1056 is not exactly divisible by 23

So, we take next multiple of 23. Next multiple = 46

So, 23 * 46 = 1058

So, 1058 is exactly divisible by 23 .

1958 - 1056 = 2
