Question

What is the least number added to 8961, to make it exactly divisible by 84?
1. 27
2. 47
3. 41
4. 57

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 27

Formula used:

Dividend  = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculations: 

When 8961 is divided by 84, we get 106 as quotient and 57 as Remainder

i.e 8961 = 106 × 84 + 57

So, to make it exactly divisible by 84, 84 – 57 = 27 should be added.
