How it is correct? because above in the example no. 6 method is to split the number & then check the number either diveded by all or not.
And same method if we applied in this example (11*2*4) = 88.
So, 9988 is divided by all 11, 2, & 4.
Please anyone clarify this.

We can write 88=11*8=11*4*2.
So the 4 digit number must be divisible by all the digits i.e 11,4,2.
But where am I confusing is the number 9988 is divisible by all the numbers i.e 11,4,2 but it is not divisible by 88.
Why? The method is wrong or write? Can anyone suggest?

@Darshan Prajapati.
We should treat the number as 2×4 and not 2, 4.88=11×2^3.
So, it should be divisible by 8 and not just by 4.

Why can't we do it by splitting the number?
88 = 11*4*2.
Why can't we take the largest number that is divisible by 11, 4 & 2?
(This method was used to solve problem no:6).
88 = 11*4*2.

The easiest way to understand this is Euclid's division lemma.
Dividend = divisior * quatient+remainder.
So 9999 = 88 * 113 + 55..
9999-55 = 88 * 113 = 9944 = 9944.
Dividend = divisior * quatient+remainder.
So 9999 = 88 * 113 + 55..
9999-55 = 88 * 113 = 9944 = 9944.

9988 is the answer because;
88= (11*2*4).
9988 is completely divisible by 88.
88= (11*2*4).
9988 is completely divisible by 88.

What if the question is smallest 4 digit number. I know we need to divide with 1000 but what we'll do after divisions like here it is 9999 - 55, what will be there?

Why we take (9999-55)?

Is it possible answer is 9876?
