Question

What least number should be added to 1056, so that the sum is completely divisible by 23
1. 4
2. 1
3. 2
4. 3

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2

Given:

Dividend = 1056

Divisor = 23

Calculation:

Divide 1056 by 23 

1056/23 leaves the remainder 21

Subtract Remainder from the divisor 

23 - 21 = 2

So 2 must be added to 1056 so that it is completely divisible by 23

1056 + 2 = 1058 is divisible by 23

∴  The least number should be added to 1056 so that the sum is completely divisible by 23 is 2
