The smallest number that should be subtracted from 2085, so that the new number is completely divisible by 23 is

Explanation:

If we'll divide 2085 by 23,
then, quotient = 9 and remainder = 15
Now, subtract 15 from 2085
2085 -15 = 2070
we get 2070,which is completely divisible by 23
therefore,15 is the smallest no. which when subtracted by 2085,
we get new no. 2070 which is completely divisible by 23.
