The smallest 5-digit number exactly divisible by 254 is 10,160.
To find this, we can follow these steps:
-
Identify the smallest 5-digit number: The smallest 5-digit number is 10,000.
-
Divide by the divisor: Divide 10,000 by 254. This yields approximately 39.37.
-
Round up to the next whole number: Since we need a whole number to ensure exact divisibility, round 39.37 up to 40.
-
Multiply by the divisor: Multiply 40 by 254. 40 * 254 = 10,160.
Therefore, 10,160 is the smallest 5-digit number that is exactly divisible by 254.
