Hey @aatish08 i dont think there is any simple method other than this to solve this question the logic behind this method is quite simple actually a number with smaller digits would be smaller than number with larger digits for example 464 bigger than 434 so thats why we replace digits greater than 5 with 5 - digit so that digit replacing it is smaller than initial digit, which makes the number smaller
