Question : 4.Using divisibility test, determine which of the following numbers are divisible by 11:
(a) 5445, (b) 10824, (c) 7138965, (d) 70169308, (e) 10000001 , (f) 901153
Answer :
(a) 5445 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 5 = 9
→ Sum of the digits at even places = 4 + 5 = 9
→ Difference of both sums = 9 – 9 = 0
Since the difference is 0, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(b) 10824 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 8 +1 = 13
→ Sum of the digits at even places = 2 + 0 = 2
→ Difference of both sums = 13 – 2 = 11
Since the difference is 11, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(c) 7138965 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 5 + 9 + 3 + 7 = 24
→ Sum of the digits at even places = 6 + 8 + 1 = 15
→ Difference of both sums = 24 – 15 = 9
Since the difference is neither 0 nor 11, therefore, the number is not divisible by 11.
(d) 70169308 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 8 + 3 + 6 + 0 = 17
→ Sum of the digits at even places = 0 + 9 + 1 + 7 = 17
→ Difference of both sums = 17 – 17 = 0
Since the difference is 0, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(e) 10000001 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1
→ Sum of the digits at even places = 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1
→ Difference of both sums = 1 – 1 = 0
Since the difference is 0, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
(f) 901153 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 3 + 1 + 0 = 4
→ Sum of the digits at even places = 5 + 1 + 9 = 15
→ Difference of both sums = 15 – 4 = 11
Since the difference is 11, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
Question : 5.Write the smallest digit and the largest digit in the blanks space of each of the following numbers so that the number formed is divisibly by 3:
(a) __________ 6724
(b) 4765 __________ 2
Answer :
(a) We know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.
Therefore, Smallest digit : 2 → 26724 = 2 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 21
Largest digit : 8 → 86724 = 8 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 27
(b) We know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.
Therefore, Smallest digit : 0 → 476502 = 4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 0 + 2 = 24
Largest digit : 9 → 476592 = 4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 0 + 2 = 33
Question : 6.Write the smallest digit and the largest digit in the blanks space of each of the following numbers so that the number formed is divisibly by 11:
(a) 92 __________ 389
(b) 8 __________ 9484
Answer :
(a) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.
Therefore, 928389 → Odd places = 9 + 8 + 8 = 25
Even places = 2 + 3 + 9 = 14
Difference = 25 – 14 = 11
(b) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.
Therefore, 869484 → Odd places = 8 + 9 + 8 = 25
Even places = 6 + 4 + 4 = 14
Difference = 25 – 14 = 11
