@Mrunmay.
Solution they take difference because to make remainder zero. And than that divisor will divine these number Completely.

@Samir.
First find the LCM of 60, 80, 90, which is 720. Then divide it by 99999 which is highest 5 digit number, and less the reminder which is 639 and answer is 99360. Which is equally divisible by 60, 80, 90. Thanks.

It's very simple guys =>
43/4=3,
92/4=3,
183/4=3.
The remainder is 3 for all divide so 4 is the correct answer.
