if you start with 09, add 9 to it, since 9 is one less than 10, the ones spot actually goes down by one while the tens spot goes up by one. Same is true when you add 9 again. So, 09 becomes 18 which then becomes 27 and so on.

add all the digits together and see if it is divisible by nine.
It is 3 6 9
Yes. It is the divisibility rule for 9.
You have to use the rules of 4 and 9 Using the rules of 2 and 18 won't work because the smallest common multiple of 2 and 18 is 18 not 36. 3 and 12 won't work either because the smallest common multiple of 3 and 12 is 12 not 36. However 4 and 9 does work because their biggest common divisor is 1 so multiplying them works. The biggest common divisor of 2 and 18 is 2 and the biggest common divisor of 3 and 12 is 3
If all the digits add up to 9 then it is divisable by 9
