1056/23 = 45.91.
So round of the figure of the result that means 46.
Then 46 * 23 = 1058.

=> 1058 - 1056 = 2.

The answer is 2.

Firstly what @Nikitha has explained is wrong. Because the remainder is 21 not 2. So please can somebody give me the answer why we did 23 - 21?

23 * 46 = 1058.

1058 - 1056 = 2.

This digital root method is nice and quick. Does it work for all questions, where else can this be applied?
