find 6 digit number that can be formed by 1,2,3,4,5,6 once such that the 6 digit number is divisible by its unit digit(the unit digit is not 1)
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- Since, there is no repetition, numbers 1 to 6 will always be present in the 6 digit number.
We will go through this step by step.
unit digit divisibility by 2 and 2 at the unit place
_ _ _ _ _ 2= 5*4*3*2*1*1= 120 ways
unit digit divisibility by 3 and 3 at the unit place
_ _ _ _ _3=5*4*3*2*1*1 =120 ways
(1+2+3+4+5+6 =21 divisible by 3)
unit digit divisibility by 4 and 4 at the unit place
_ _ _ _ 2 4 =4*3*2*1*1 =24
_ _ _ _ 6 4 = 4*3*2*1*1=24
so total ways =24+24 = 48 ways
unit digit divisibility by 5 and 5 at the unit place
_ _ _ _ _ 5 = 5*4*3*2*1*1 = 120 ways
unit digit divisibility by 6 and 6 at the unit place
_ _ _ _ _6=5*4*3*2*1*1= 120ways
total ways =120 +120+ 48+ 120 + 120 = 528 ways - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(7)
- Something missing in this question it should be how many 6 digit numbers....
Solution- if unit digit is =2 than 1*2*3*4*5=120. So 120 6 digit numbers can be formed which can divisible by unit digit 2.
if unit digit is =3 than 1*2*3*4*5=120. So 120 6 digit numbers can be formed which can divisible by unit digit 3.
if unit digit is =4 than 1*2*3*4*2=48. So 120 6 digit numbers can be formed which can divisible by unit digit 4.(Because last 2 digit must be divisible by 4)
if unit digit is =5 than 1*2*3*4*5=120. So 120 6 digit numbers can be formed which can divisible by unit digit 5.
if unit digit is =6 than 1*2*3*4*5=120. So 120 6 digit numbers can be formed which can divisible by unit digit 6.(it is also divisible by 3 because 1+2+3+4+5+6=21 is divisible by 3).
So total numbers=120+120+48+120+120=528 Ans - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(6)
- from 1--------120 number
from 2---------120 number
from 3----------120 number
from 5-----------120 number
from 6------------120 number
from 4 last two digit should be divisible by 4 so only 2 cases ----24 and ----64
so total number divisilbe by 4 = 24+24= 48
so total is -648 answer - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(6)
- One way to get the answer:
XXXXX1 is always divisible by 1, so we have 5! numbers.
XXXXX2 is always divisible by 2, so we have 5! numbers.
XXXXX3 is always divisible by 3 (sum of digits is always 21), so we have 5! numbers.
XXXXY4 is divisible by 4 only if Y is 2 or 6, so we have 2 * 4! numbers.
XXXXX5 is always divisible by 5, so we have 5! numbers.
XXXXX6 is always divisible by 6 (even number divisible by 3), so we have 5! numbers.
So total number of numbers with required property = 5 * 5! + 2* 4! = 600 + 48 = 648 numbers.
Another way to get the answer:
Almost all number have the required property except for:
XXXXY4, where Y is 1 or 3 or 5.
So 3 * 4! number do not have the required property.
Number of 6 digits numbers = 6!
So total number of numbers with required property = 6! - 3 * 4! = 720 - 72 = 648 numbers. - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 528 is correct answer

- unit digit divisibility by 2 and 2 at the unit place = 5! =120 ways eq....1
unit digit divisibility by 3 and 3 at the unit place = 5! =120 ways eq....2
unit digit divisibility by 5 and 5 at the unit place = 5! =120 ways eq....3
total 120+120+120=360 ways
unit digit divisibility by 4 and 4 at the unit place covered by eq 1(if no divided by 4 then it must divided
by 2 also)
unit digit divisibility by 4 and 4 at the unit place covered by eq 2 and eq 3(divisibility by 6=div by 2 and
div by 3 ) - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
