Let the number be X. The difference between the quotient and the remainder is 152, which means, the remainder is less than quotient. because remainder cannot be more than the divisor i.e. 23 So, the remainder 168 - 152 16 Number Divisor X Quotient Remainder X 23 X 168 16 So, X 3,880 Therefore, the given number X 3,880
