The largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88 is:

• A. 8888
• B. 9944
• C. 9964
• D. 9988

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To find the largest 4-digit number divisible by 88, we first divide the largest 4-digit number, 9999, by 88:

\[ 9999 \div 88 = 113.625 \] 

Taking the integer part of the quotient, we get 113. Now, multiply 113 by 88 to get the largest multiple of 88 that is less than or equal to 9999:

\[ 88 \times 113 = 9944 \]

Thus, the largest 4-digit number divisible by 88 is 9944.
