The correct answer is
5343

To find the nearest integer to 5347 which is exactly divisible by 137, we need to determine the multiples of 137 that are closest to 5347 and see which one is the nearest.

  1. First, find the quotient by dividing 5347 by 137: \[\text{Quotient} = \frac{5347}{137} = 39.044\]. Since we want an integer, consider the nearest integers: - Floor of the quotient is 39. - Ceiling of the quotient is 40.
  2. Calculate the nearest integers which are exact multiples of 137:
    • Multiply the floor of the quotient by 137: 39 \times 137 = 5343.
    • Multiply the ceiling of the quotient by 137: 40 \times 137 = 5480.
  3. Compare these products with 5347:
    • Difference between 5347 and 5343 is 5347 - 5343 = 4.
    • Difference between 5480 and 5347 is 5480 - 5347 = 133.
    Clearly, 5343 is closer to 5347 than 5480.
  4. Therefore, the nearest integer to 5347 exactly divisible by 137 is 5343.

Hence, the correct answer is 5343.
