Divisibility Rule of 9

Divisibility Rule of 9:

A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

Justification:

Let us first consider case of a two digit number:

 n=overline{ab} be a two digit number. Then, n can be written as

         n = 10a + b, where b is units digit of n.

Rightarrow    n = 9a + a + b

Rightarrow    n = a multiple of 9 + ( a + b )

Rightarrow    n is a multiple of 9, if ( a + b ) is a multiple of 9

Thus, a two digit number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
