What is the least number that must be subtracted from 5000 to make it exactly divisible by 43 ?

  • A.10
  • B.12
  • C.14
  • D.16

Answer: C

Correct answer: 12

Divide and take the remainder, since subtracting it leaves an exact multiple.

\[5000 = 43 \times 116 + 12\]

So 12 must be subtracted, giving \(4988 = 43 \times 116\).
