for number to be divisible by 45 it should be divisible by both 5 and 9
as you can see, last digit is 4 and we know that number should be divisible by both 5 and 9
for number to be divisible by 5 last digit should be 0 or 5; so, we can say that reminder should be 4 because only if we deduct 4 last digit will be 0
so, answer is: the remainder is 4

but to be sure, check the divisibility by 9
in order to do that, we need to find the sum of the digits of N=12345678.........424344:

or, faster this way:
1-9=45%2B1%28of+10%29=46
11-20=9%2B45%2B2=56
21-30=18%2B45%2B3=66
31-40=27%2B45%2B4=76
41-44=16%2B10=26
so sum of digits is 279
279%2F9=31; so, 279 is divisible by 9

since 5 and 9 are co-prime numbers, the number given number should also be divisible by 5
dividing the number by 5 we get 279%2F5+=55%2B4%2F5;so, we got a remainder of 4
so, your answer is: the remainder is 4

The answer is 9 not the 4 as solved by MathLover1(7369).I guanrentee This!
The number on dividing by 5 leaves remainder 4.
Digitsum of Numbers (1234......424344)-->
The number are from 0 to 9 (Sum of digits 45)
then 10 to 19 (Digit sum 45+1x10 = 55)
then 20 to 29 (Digit sum 45+2x10 = 65)
then 30 to 39 (Digit sum 45+3x10 = 75) and
then 40 to 44 (digit sum (10+4x5 = 30)
therefore total digit sum come out to be (45+55+65+75+30 = 270)
This is divisible by 9.
When the given number is divided by 5 it leaves a remainder 4. So the number is of the form 5A + 4.
When divided by 9 it leaves a remainder 0. Hence of the form 9B+0.
Equate both the equations 5A+4=9B.
Put A= 1 and B= 1 we get 9 which is the remainder.
