To find:

The value of * digit.

Solution:

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

First of all, we should know that if a number is a multiple of 9 then the sum of all digits of that number should be a multiple of 9.

Now,

As given in the question, we have,

42 *8 is a multiple of 9

This means,

4 + 2 + * + 8 ...should be a multiple of 9

= 14 + * ...should be a multiple of 9

The value of * can be 4, so that

14 + 4 = 18,

which is a multiple of 9.

Hence, the value of * is 4.
