Question

check if the number 172304 is divisible by 11

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

yes it divisble by 11 mark me as briliant

Answer 2

Answer:

To check whether a number is divisible by 11, we can use the following rule: Add up the digits in the odd positions (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) and subtract the sum of the digits in the even positions (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.). If the result is divisible by 11, then the original number is also divisible by 11.

For the number 172304, we have:

Digits in odd positions: 1, 2, 4

Digits in even positions: 7, 3, 0

Sum of digits in odd positions = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7

Sum of digits in even positions = 7 + 3 + 0 = 10

Subtracting the sum of digits in even positions from the sum of digits in odd positions, we get:

7 - 10 = -3

Since -3 is not divisible by 11, we can conclude that 172304 is not divisible by 11.
