No Vasanthi. If we divide 9988 by 8 and 11 then also its fully divisible and our answer comes wrong.
Not a correct method. You urself check for all numbers.

Hi! its a simple method to clear.
That is
It s some more difficult to divide by 88.
So to solve the problem, just divide the no by 8 and 11.
Because 88=8*11. Check it.

The largest 4-digit no. is 9999. when we divide it by 88 we got remainder as 55. It means that 9999 is 55 more than a number that is completely divisible by 88. So we have to subtract that extent 55 from 9999 to get actual number.
