1056/23 = 45.xx,

45*23 = 1035,

1035+23 = 1058.

Difference between 1056 and 1058 = 2.

@Payal.

It's 797.
When we add it to 5678 we get 35 as rem.
On dividing the sum by 460.

1056/23 = 45.91.
45*23 = 1035.
Now we can write 1035+23 = 1058.

Hence,
1058-1056 = 2.

@Sankar & @Prashant.

Is the digital root method is applicable for all the divisors?

Since,
23 * 46 = 1058.
And the given number is 1056,
1058 - 1056 = 2 is the answer.

@Nandi.

Please apply same formula in 1045 instead of 1056, 23 will remain same.

23*46 = 1058.

Therefore if we add 2 to 1056 then it is divisible by 23.

Why are we first dividing aren't we suppose to add the least number?
