13601/87 = 156.33333
Take it from there.
divide 13601 by 87. Take the remainder, and subtract it from the original number 13601.
The smallest integer is zero.Is it ture or false. Give reason.
To find the least number that must be subtracted from 13601 to obtain a number that is exactly divisible by 87, we need to find the remainder when 13601 is divided by 87. If the remainder is not 0, we subtract the remainder from 87.
To calculate the remainder, we use the modulus operator (%):
13601 % 87 = 40
Since the remainder is 40, we need to subtract 40 from 87 to obtain a number that is divisible by 87.
87 - 40 = 47
So, the least number that must be subtracted from 13601 to get a number exactly divisible by 87 is 47.
