That the sum of its digits add up to 9 as for example 9*9 = 81 and 8+1 = 9
288. All multiples of 9 will have digits that add to a multiple of 9. To get a multiple of 9 to be all even, you need to get them to add to 18, since no set of even numbers will add up to 9. 288 is the lowest multiple of 9 to be able to add to 18. ■
The digits of 498 do not add to a multiple of 9 so it isn't.
