What should be added to 459684 so that it becomes exactly divisible by 187?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We divide 459684 by 187 and get 2458.203209 approximately.  This tells\r\n" );
document.write( "us that the next whole number above that, which is 2459, is such that if\r\n" );
document.write( "we multiply it by 187, we will get the next higher multiple of 187.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we multiply 2459x187 getting 459833.  Then when we subtract 459684\r\n" );
document.write( "from 459833 we get the answer 149. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So if we add 149 to 459684 we get 459833, which is divisible by 187.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer 149\r\n" );
