Q. Without dividing, determine if 10,769 is divisible by 9 and explain how you know.10,769□ divisible by 9
Divisibility Rule for 9: To determine if a number is divisible by 9, we can use the divisibility rule for 9, which states that if the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number itself is also divisible by 9. Let's apply this rule to 10,769.
Add Digits Together: First, we add the digits of 10,769 together: 1+0+7+6+9.
Calculate Sum: Performing the addition, we get 1+0+7+6+9=23.
Check Divisibility: Now, we need to check if the sum of the digits, which is 23, is divisible by 9. Since 23 is not divisible by 9 (because 9×2=18 and 9×3=27, and 23 is between these two products), we can conclude that 10,769 is not divisible by 9.
