Question

What least number should be subtracted from 10004 to get a number exactly divisible by 12?
(a) 4
(b) 6
(c) 8
(d) 20

Answer 1

(c) 8

Here we have to tell what least number should be subtracted from 10004 to get a number exactly divisible by 12
So, we will first divide 10004 by 12.


Remainder = 8
So, 8 should be subtracted from 10004 to get the number exactly divisible by 12.
i.e., 10004 − 8 = 9996


Hence, 9996 is exactly divisible by 12.
