Find the number which exceeds $17319$ by $1279$.

Answer 1

Determine the number which exceeds $17319$ by $1279$.

We have to find the number which exceeds $17319$ by $1279$.

Let $x$ be the required number.

So, when we subtract $x$ by $1279$, we will get $17319$.

Mathematically we can write,

$\Rightarrow$ $x-1279=17319$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=17319+1279$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=18598$

Hence, the number $18598$ exceeds $17319$ by $1279$.
