Answer:
Given : P39048458Q is divisible by 8 and 11
Find : have to find the value of p and q
Step-by-step explanation:
If a number is divisible by eight, the last three digits must be divisible by eight as well.
As a result, 58N must be divisible by eight. As a result, N=4
Now, for each number divisible by 11, we add the total of even and odd position digits in the opposite order. A difference of any factor of 11 is required for divisibility.
As a result, we have an odd position sum of M+9+4+4+8=25+M.
Even position sum=3+0+8+5+N=3+0+8+5+4=20; odd position sum=3+0+8+5+4=20; odd position sum=3+0+8+5+4=20
As a result, (25+M)-20=5+M is the difference.
M=6 in order for (5+M) to be a factor of 11.
So, M=6,N=4
