2. If 31z5 is a multiple of 9, where z is a digit, what is the value of z?
You will find that there are two answers for the last problem. Why
is this so?
ANSWER :
Since 31z5 is a multiple of 9.
Therefore according to the divisibility rule of 9, the sum of all thedigits
should be a multiple of 9.
If
Hence 0 and 9 are two possible answers.
