Find the value of a b c if 173a i diviible by 9, 173b i diviible by 11 and 173c i divible by 6

Sagot :

The value of a , b and c are 7, 11 and 1 respectively.

173a is divisible by 9.

Rule of divisible by 9 is:

The number itself is divisible by 9 if its digit sum is also divisible by 9.

digits sum  =  1+7+3+a  = 11+a.

11+a is divisible by 9. a can be 7 so that 11+7 = 18 is divisible by 9.

minimum positive value of a = 7.

173b is divisible by 11

Rule of divisible by 11 is:

A number is completely divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of its alternative digits is divisible by 11.

sum of its alterative digits:

1+3 =4  

7+b =7+b

difference of alternative digits sum = 7+b-4 = b+3 is divisible by 11 b = 8

so that 8+3 = 11 is divisible by 11.

minimum positive value of b = 11.

173c is divisible by 6.

Rule of divisible by 11 is:

Any number that can be divided by both 2 and 3 is also divisible by 6.

sum of digits of number = 1+7+3+c = 11 + c if divisible by 2 then it should be even if we put c = 1  , 11+1 = 12 which is divisible by both 2 and 3.

minimum positive value of c = 1.

So the value of a ,b and c are 7, 11 and 1 respectively.
