A. 4 digit number has Th H T and One's place.
Under each place value, the minimum value we can write is 0 and the maximum value is 9. Hence, if ones, tens, hundred and Thousand all have 9, then 9999 is the largest 4 digit number.
Similarly, largest 5 digits will have 99999 so on and so forth.
The smallest 4 digit will be 1000.
Smallest 5 digit will be 10000.

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?

Because, 9999 is largest four digit number, whenever we devide it by 88 reminder remains 55, when we substract 55 from 9999 we get exact number which is divisible by 88 i.e. 9944.

When 9999/88 = remain 55 how is that 9999/88 = 116.625?

9944, 9988, 8888 all three number divisible by 2 and 11, so how we can find the greatest number?
