Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

To find the least number to be added to 1000 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 53, we divide 1000 by 53 and find the remainder. The remainder when 1000 is divided by 53 is 46. The least number to be added to 1000 = 53 - 46 = 7. Therefore, 1000 + 7 = 1007, which is exactly divisible by 53. Hence, the least number to be added to 1000 is 7.
