Question

how is 901153 divisible by 11?

Answer 1

Hi!

Here is the answer to your query.

If the difference between the sum of the digits at odd places from the right and the sum of the digits at even places from the right of a number is either 0 or a multiple of 11, then the number is divisible by 11.

The given number is 901153.

Sum of the digits at odd places = 3 + 1 + 0 = 4

Sum of the digits at even places = 5 + 1 + 9 = 15

Difference = 15 – 4 = 11, which is a multiple of 11.

Thus, 901153 is divisible by 11.

Cheers!
