Given:
The three digit number is 24A.
The number is divisible by 9.
To find:
The value of A.
Explanation:
The number is 24A.
It is divisible by 9.
We know that,
The number which is divisible by 9, the sum of the digits of that number is also divisible by 9.
Hence, the sum of the first two digits _
(2+4)
=6
On dividing 6 by 9 we get,
(6÷9)
= The result is 0 and the remainder is 6.
Hence, the value of A is_
(9-6)
= 3
(Ans.): The minimum value of A is 3.
