What goes into 486?

Answer 1

Anytime something is divisible by 9, you can add up all the digits in the number and it will equal 9.

4 + 8 + 6 = 18 --> 1+8 = 9

Condensing it down to one number is called the digital root.

So just take 486 / 9 = 54

54 = 9 x 6

9 = 3 x 3

6 = 3 x 2

So a few multiples are:

2,3,6,9,54,486

We got all that from realizing that the digits in the number all added up to 9!
