a*141641717 is not divisible by 459 and 264.

so, a is not equal to 9.

for a= 99

a*141641717 is not divisible by 459 and 264.

so, a is not equal to 99.

for a= 153

a*141641717 is not divisible by 459 and 264.

so, a is not equal to 153.

for a= 279

a*141641717 is divisible by 459 and 264.

so, a is equal to 279.

hence, a= 279
