Question

in each of the following numbers replace * by the smallest numbers to make it divisible by 9 53*88

Answer 1

the answer is 3. when we add all the digits of a number, the number obtained should be divisible by 9. then the whole number is divisible by 9

Answer 2

Answer: * is replaced by 3 to make it divisible by 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

53*88

We need to find the smallest number that replace * to make it divisible by 9.

As we know the divisibility by 9.

$53*88\\\\=5+3+*+8+8\\\\=24+*$

As we know that 27 is divisible by 9 and it is closest to 24.

Hence, * is replaced by 3 to make it divisible by 9.
