If you add up all the digits in a number and the sum is a multiple of 9 then the original number is also a multiple of 9. For example; 12,167,314,839,018

1+2+1+6+7+3+1+4+8+3+9+0+1+8 = 54 = 6 x 9 therefore the original number is a multiple of 9, actually 1,351,923,871,002 x 9


Use a calculator and try to divide the number by 9. If 9 divides into the number a whole number of times then the number is a multiple of 9.
