Question 43 1.25 / -0
Find the greatest missing digit in the number 7365 __ 2, such that the 6-digit number is divisible by 6.
Solution
For a number to be divisible by 6, it should be divisible by both 2 and 3. Since in 7365 __ 2, the digit at units place is 2, i.e. even, it is divisible by 2. To make it divisible by 3, the sum of digits should be divisible by 3. Now, sum of remaining digits = 7 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 23 Since the next multiple of 3 is 24, the smallest number is 24 - 23 = 1. But we need to find the greatest number. So, 1 + 3 + 3 = 7 Hence, the greatest number is 7.
