What is the value of M and N respectively? If M39048458N is divisible by 8 & 11; Where M & N are single digit integers?
Read Solution (Total 6)

- In order to be divisible by 8, the last three Nos. must be divisible by 8.
Hence the N must be 4
Next, the given number should be divisible by 11:
(M+9+4+4+8) -(3+0+8+5+4) - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- I had not done the full solution.
(M+5)MUST BE DIVISIBLE BY 11
hence M must be 6
Hence, M is 6 and N is 4 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(4)
- m=6
n=4

- ans in m=6 and n=3

- if any number is divisible by 8 then the last three digits of a that number should be divisible by 8 also,
so, 58N should be divisible by 8.
in this way we find if N=4 then 584 is divisible by 8.
so , N=8
now,if the number is divisible by 11 then the differences of the sum of the digits places at odd and even places should be divisible by 11 ,
sum of the digits at even places =3+0+8+5+N
=16+N (N=4)
=20
SUM OF THE DIGITS AT ODD PLACES=M+9+4+4+8
=M+25
now, (M+25)-20 should be divisible by 11
i.e. M+5 should be divisible by 11 and M should be a single digit.
so if M=6 , then M+5 =11 is divisible by 11.
Ans. M=6, N=4 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- THe value of M=2 and N=4,as the last 3 digits should be divisible by 8.
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
