Fill in the Blanks

Solution

The difference of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing its digits is always divisible by 9.

Explanation:

Let ab be any two-digit number, then we have

ab – ba = (10a + b) – (10b + a)

= 9a – 9b

= 9(a – b)

Hence, ab – ba is always divisible by 9 and (a – b).
