Full solution

Q. Without dividing, determine if 7474,814814 is divisible by 99 and explain how you know.\newline74,814 74,814 \square divisible by 99
  1. Divisibility Rule for 99: To determine if a number is divisible by 99, we can use the divisibility rule for 99: A number is divisible by 99 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 99.
  2. Add Digits of Number: First, we add the digits of the number 74,81474,814: 7+4+8+1+47 + 4 + 8 + 1 + 4.
  3. Perform Addition: Perform the addition: 7+4+8+1+4=247 + 4 + 8 + 1 + 4 = 24.
  4. Check Divisibility by 99: Now, we need to determine if the sum of the digits, which is 2424, is divisible by 99. Since 2424 is not a multiple of 99 (because 2+4=62 + 4 = 6, which is not divisible by 99), the original number 74,81474,814 is not divisible by 99.
