Question

Find the largest 4-digit number divisible by 16.

Answer 1

We have to find the largest four digit number divisible by 16 .
The largest four-digit number = 9999
Therefore, dividend =9999
Divisor =16


Here, we get remainder =15
Therefore, 15 must be subtracted from 9999 to get the largest four digit number that is divisible by 16.
i.e., 9999 − 15 = 9984

Thus, 9984 is the largest four-digit number that is divisible by 16.
