A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 9 (like 9, 18, 27, 36, etc.).
If the sum is divisible by 9, then the whole number is also divisible by 9!
Write down the number.
Add up all the digits.
Check if the sum is a multiple of 9.
If yes, the number is divisible by 9.
Number: 729
Add the digits: 7 + 2 + 9 = 18
18 is a multiple of 9 (18 ÷ 9 = 2)
729 is divisible by 9.
Number: 458
Add the digits: 4 + 5 + 8 = 17
17 is not a multiple of 9.
458 is not divisible by 9.

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. For example, 198 is divisible by 9 because 1 + 9 + 8 = 18, and 18 is divisible by 9.
The division shows that the number 81 is exactly divisible by 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81.
To make a number divisible by 9, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 9. In the case of 45678, the sum of its digits is 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 30, which is already divisible by 9. Therefore, no number needs to be subtracted from 45678 to make it divisible by 9.
