999 is divisible by 9, but not by six; the next lower number divisible by 9 is 990, which is also divisible by 6, so that's the answer. Some shortcuts for divisibility: 0 is divisible by any number. If the last digit of a number is divisible by 2, the number itself is divisible by 2. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, the number itself is divisible by 3. If the last TWO digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number itself is divisible by 4. If the last digit of a number is divisible by 5, the number itself is divisible by 5. If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6. If the last THREE digits of a number are divisible by 8, the number itself is divisible by 8. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, the number itself is divisible by 9. 990: 9+9+0=18, which is divisible by 9, so 990 is divisible by 9. 18 is also divisible by 3, so 990 is divisible by 3, and since 990 ends in 0 it's also divisible by 2, meaning that it's divisible by 6 as well.
To check for divisibility by 9 sum the digits of the number and if this sum is divisible by 9 then so is the original number. For 32643: 3 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18 which is divisible by 9 so 32643 is divisible by 9. As 9 = 3 × 3, any number divisible by 9 is also divisible by 3, thus as 32643 is divisible by 9 it is also divisible by 3. However, for completeness: to check for divisibility by 3 sum the digits of the number and if this sum is divisible by 3 then so is the original number. For 32643: 3 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18 which is divisible by 3 so 32643 is divisible by 3.
To determine if a number is divisible by 6, we need to check if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. The number 34614 is divisible by 2 because it is even (the last digit is even). To check if it is divisible by 3, we sum the digits: 3 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 = 18, which is divisible by 3, so 34614 is divisible by 3. Therefore, 34614 is divisible by 6. To check if it is divisible by 9, we sum the digits again: 3 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 = 18, which is divisible by 9, so 34614 is divisible by 9 as well.
To be divisible by both 4 and 9 a number must be a multiple of the Least Common Factor of 4 and 9. The LCM is 36. The first 3 digit number in each hundred that is a multiple of 36 are as follows :- 108, 216, 324, 432, 504, 612, 720, 828 and 900.
