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