Dividend = divisior * quotient + remainder.
So, 9999 = 88 * 113 + 55.
9999-55 = 88 * 113 = 9944 = 9944.

@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.

8888 is also divisible by 88.

88 * 101 = 8888.

9999 is the largest number.
So, 9999÷88 = 113
113 * 88 = 9944.

9768 is also divisible by 88, but it is not the largest number.
