Question
Given that the number \[\overline{{67y19}}\] is divisible by 9, where y is a digit, what are the possible values of y?
Solution
\[\text{ It is given that }\overline{{67y19}}\text{ is a multiple of 9 }. \]
\[ \therefore (6 + 7 + y + 1 + 9)\text{ is a multiple of 9 .} \]
\[ \therefore (23 + y)\text{ is a multiple of 9 . }\]
\[23 + y = 0, 9, 18, 27, 36 . . . \]
\[\text{ But }x\text{ is a digit . So, }x\text{ can take values }0, 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . 9 . \]
\[23 + y = 27\]
\[ \Rightarrow y = 4\]

If 24x is a multiple of 3, where x is a digit, what is the value of x?
(Since 24x is a multiple of 3, its sum of digits 6 + x is a multiple of 3; so 6 + x is one of these numbers: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18…. But since x is a digit, it can only be that 6 + x = 6 or 9 or 12 or 15. Therefore, x = 0 or 3 or 6 or 9. Thus, x can have any of four different values)
