Question

Which least number should be subtracted from 67856 so that the remainder is exactly divisible by 28?

Answer 1

Here ,dividend = $67856$, and divisor = $28$

so by doing long division

$282426785656\_\_\_\_118112\_\_\_6556\_\_\_9684\_\_\_12$

So by dividing, we get $12$ as remainder.

The required least number=$$\begin{gathered} =67856-12 \\ =67844 \end{gathered}$$

Thus if we subtract $12$ from a given number $67856$ , the remainder $67844$ is completely divisible by $28$
