4.1. Galia thought of a number, multiplied it by N, then added N to the result, divided the resulting number by N, and subtracted N. In the end, she got a number that is 2021 less than the originally thought number. What is N?
Answer: 2022

Solution. Let the number she thought of be $\mathrm{k}$, then after two operations, she will have the number $\mathrm{kN}+\mathrm{N}$, and after division, she will have the number $\mathrm{k}+1$, which is 1 more than the number she thought of. And when she subtracts $\mathrm{N}$, the result will be a number that is $\mathrm{N}-1$ less than the original number.
