Find the greatest number of five digits which is divisible by 13.

  • A.99999
  • B.99983
  • C.99996
  • D.99987

Answer: C

The greatest five-digit number is 99999.

To find the largest five-digit number that is exactly divisible by 13, we first divide 99999 by 13 to find the remainder.

\(99999 \div 13\) gives a quotient of 7692 and a remainder of 3.

This means 99999 is 3 more than a multiple of 13. To get the required number, we must subtract the remainder from 99999.

Required Number = \(99999 - 3 = 99996\).
