Question

Find the least value of x where 7x5462 is divisible by 9.

A.

6

B.

3

C.

5

D.

4

Correct option is B

Given:

7x5462

Concept Used:

To determine the divisibility by 9, the sum of the digits of the number must be divisible by 9.

Solution:

Write the expression for the sum of the digits:

Sum of digits = 7 + x + 5 + 4 + 6 + 2

Sum of digits = 24 + x

For 7x5462 to be divisible by 9, 24 + x must be divisible by 9.

• The nearest multiple of 9 greater than 24 is 27.

• Thus, 24 + x = 27

x = 27 - 24 = 3

Therefore, the least value of x that makes 7x5462 divisible by 9 is x = 3 .
