Question

what least value must be assigned to * so that the number 197*5462 is divisible by 9

Answer 1

Hey mate here we go

First keep in mind that we can calculate this by easy method

just add all those numbers

i.e.,1+9+7+5+4+6+2=70

So 70 will not divided by 9

So we can add the number So that can divided easily

for that add 1 now 71 not possible

add 2 now 72 so 72/9=8 now possible

So put 2 in * position

i.e.,

$\frac{19725462}{9} = 2191718 \\ now \: \: you \: can \: check \: by \: cross \: method \\ \\ 2191718 \times 9 = 19725462$

I hope this will helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if the sum of the numbers in a digit is divisible by 9 then the digit is also divisible by 9

The sum of each number  in 197*5462 is 70 + *

the number closest to 70 and divisible by 9 is 72

Put  70+*=72

*=72-70

*=2

Therefore  the value of * =2
