Question

if the number 5037K is divisible by both 3 and 9, what is the value of K​

Answer 1

Answer:

the value is 3

Divisibility rule for 9=add all  the numbers and see if the sum is divisible 9

5+0+3+7=15

nearest number divisible by 9 near 15 is 18

18-15=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer will be 3.

Explanation:

Sum of all digits of 5037k =15+k

But we know that according to divisibility test of 3 and 9, a number is only divisible by them only if sum of digits of the number is divisible by them.

So, 15 is divisible by 3 but not by 9.

Therefore to make it divisible by 9, we need to add three to it, i.e., value of k equals 3.
