4 * 10 = 40 +3.
4 * 22 = 88 + 3.
4 * 45 = 180 + 3.
Remainder is same 3.
Hence number is 4.
4 * 22 = 88 + 3.
4 * 45 = 180 + 3.
Remainder is same 3.
Hence number is 4.
(85)

43/4 = 3(remainder).
91/4 = 3(remainder).
183/4 = 3(remainder).
91/4 = 3(remainder).
183/4 = 3(remainder).

Here, the remainder is unknown that is why we have only chance to find their difference.

48 = 4 * 12
92 = 4 * 23
140 = 4 * 35.
1,2,3,5 prime numbers so 4 is the correct answer.
92 = 4 * 23
140 = 4 * 35.
1,2,3,5 prime numbers so 4 is the correct answer.

P is called the divisor & not dividend.
(Divisor x quotient) + remainder= dividend.
(Divisor x quotient) + remainder= dividend.

In @Prasanth answer, p is the divisor not dividend and the analysis of sum is correct.
