Find the least number, which must be added to 36520 to make it exactly divisible by 187

A.	159	B.	132
C.	131	D.	165

Answer and Explanation

Answer:132

Explanation:
1 and 8 are the first two digits of the divisor and 3 and 6, those of the dividend.
Hence we try 200 * 187 = 37400
Subtracting 374 twice from this, we get 36652.
We confirm that (36652 - 36520)
Also 36652 – 36520 = 132 < 187
Hence, the least number that should be added is 132
