Detailed Solution

The given data is the number 1056.
We are required to find the least number that should be added to 1056 to get a number exactly divisible by 23.
We shall first divide 1056 by 23 in the following way and note the remainder.
23 45 1056 92 ¯ 136 115 ¯ 21  
Thus, the remainder from the above division is 21.
So, we shall subtract this remainder from the number 23 to get the following.
23-21=2
The required divisible number is as follows.
1056+2=1058
Clearly, this new number will leave no remainder as 1058÷23=46  .
So, the required least number that should be added to the original number is 2.
Therefore, the required correct option is 4.
