Solution
To find the number that must be subtracted from to make it divisible by , we need to find the remainder when is divided by .
Divide by :
with some remainder
Calculate:
The remainder is:
Therefore, (A) matches with (II)
To find the number that must be added to to make it divisible by , we work with remainders.
First, find the remainder when is divided by :
remainder
So
Note that , so
Therefore:
To make it divisible by , we need to add:
Therefore, (B) matches with (IV)
To find the unit digit of , we only need to track the last digits.
For :
Powers of always end in : (, , ...)
So has unit digit
For :
Powers of cycle through unit digits: (repeats every powers)
has unit digit
The unit digit of the subtraction:
Therefore, (C) matches with (I)
Whole numbers are:
The first whole number is
The product of any number with is:
Therefore, (D) matches with (III)
Final matching:
(A) → (II)
(B) → (IV)
(C) → (I)
(D) → (III)
