The smallest integer, n > 1000 n > 1000 , divisible by 37 is:

n = 1000 37 × 37 = 28 × 37 = 1036 n = \left \lceil \frac{1000}{37} \right \rceil \times 37 = 28 \times 37 = \boxed{1036}

Why did you divide and multiply 37 to get the answer?

When we divide 1000 by 37 it gives a reminder of 1 which is 36 less than the 37 thats why we just have to add 36 into 1000

1000 37 × 37 = 1000 \dfrac{1000}{37} \times 37 = 1000 , but 1000 is not divisible by 37. This is because 1000 37 = 27.02702703 \dfrac{1000}{37} = 27.02702703 is not an integer. The ceiling function x \lceil x \rceil returns the least integer x \ge x . Therefore 1000 37 = 28 \left \lceil \dfrac{1000}{37} \right \rceil = 28 and 28 × 37 = 1036 28 \times 37 = 1036 gives the least multiple of 37 ( > 1000 ) 37 (> 1000) . Similarly, the floor function, 1000 37 = 27 \left \lfloor \dfrac{1000}{37} \right \rfloor = 27 gives the greatest integer 1000 37 \le \dfrac{1000}{37} and 27 × 37 = 999 27 \times 37 = 999 is the greatest multiple of 37 ( > 1000 ) 37 (> 1000) .

1000 1 ( m o d 37 ) 1000 + 36 1 + 36 37 0 ( m o d 37 ) 1036 0 ( m o d 37 ) 1000 \equiv 1 \pmod{37} \\ \Rightarrow 1000+36 \equiv 1+36 \equiv 37 \equiv 0 \pmod{37} \\ \Rightarrow 1036 \equiv 0 \pmod{37}

Hence , 1036 1036 is the required integer. :)

1000/37 = 27.027
37 * 0.027 = 1
1000 - 1 = 999
999/37 = 27
999 + 37 =1036
1036/37 = 28
1036 (Ans.)




Even I found the answer by this method. Easiest to think of :)

3700- 37x100 1850-37x50 925-37x26 925plus37 plus 37 -999 Hence add 37 to arrive at 1036 the smallest integer above 1000

Divide 1000 by 37 .Reminder is 1.So the next Number more than 1000 divisible by 37 is 1036

37 × 3 = 111

37 × 27 = 999 < 1000

37 × 28 = 1036

or

999 + 37 = 1036

Abdeslem Smahi

1000 = 37 × 27 + 1 1000=37 \times 27 + 1

then the smallest integer n n divisible by 37 37 is n = 37 28 = 1036. n=37*28=1036.
