the if remainder = 0, then dividend is divisible by the divisor.

Calculation:

We need to check it by options.

While dividing with 7.

Dividend = (divisor × quotient) + remainder

⇒ 24973 = (7 × 3567) + 4

So this number is not divisible by 7.

number = 24983

While dividing with 7.

Dividend = (divisor × quotient) + remainder

⇒ 24983 = (7 × 3569) + 0

So, this number is divisible by 7.

∴ The correct option is 2.
