Which of the following is the smallest 5-digits number that is exactly divisible by 526?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 10520.

The smallest 5-digit number is 10000.

According to the given question,

Dividing 10000 by 526, remainder is 6

The number to be added in the smallest 5-digit number so it will be completely divisible by 526,

⇒ 526 - remainder

Hence the required answer is 10520.
