What should be added to 123 such that the sum will be divided by13
=============
It can be divided as is.
----
To be evenly divided (make the sum an integral multiple of 13), the smallest positive number is 7. 123 + 7 = 130
-----------
7 + n*13, n = 0,1,2,3... will work (n plus or minus)
eg, -6, -19 ...
