Quick process:
238368- 128352=10016;128352-10061=18336;
check multiple which gives last digit of the given numbers..
So
18336*7=128352;
18336*13=238368;
ans:7/13;
We no need to multiply fully we have to check whether the last 2 digits (1st & 10th places)only.if have any confusion rise a ticket..

Hey Mehar
Result of 238368-128352=110016 not 10016.
How can we know that - At which stage we have to stop subtracting?
Please clarify!

Sona,
Result of 238368-128352=110016
128352-110016=18336
so
18336*7=128352
18336*13=238368
or
128352/18336=7
238368/18336=13
so ans.=7/13

Hi sona,
Why you didn't subtract 110016-18336?
Why you stop'd subtracting the above values?
