Given problem is to find nearest number,
= 8888888/2915
quotient = 3049
remainder= 1053
Now, 2915-1053 = 1862
8888888+1862 = 8890750
8888888-1053 = 8887835
Two numbers nearest to 8888888 which are exactly divisible by 2915 is 8887835 and 8890750
Basically you multiply the original length by the scale factor. So let's say there's a side length of 10 and the scale factor is .5, then you multiply 10 by .5 and get 5, that's all scale factor is . It can get larger/smaller, just depends on the number.
