Using divisibility test, determine which of the following numbers are divisible by 11:
(a) 5445, (b) 10824, (c) 7138965, (d) 70169308, (e) 10000001 , (f) 901153



Answer -

(a) 5445 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 5 = 9

→ Sum of the digits at even places = 4 + 5 = 9

→ Difference of both sums = 9 – 9 = 0

Since the difference is 0, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.


(b) 10824 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 4 + 8 +1 = 13

→ Sum of the digits at even places = 2 + 0 = 2

→ Difference of both sums = 13 – 2 = 11

Since the difference is 11, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.


(c) 7138965 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 5 + 9 + 3 + 7 = 24

→ Sum of the digits at even places = 6 + 8 + 1 = 15

→ Difference of both sums = 24 – 15 = 9

Since the difference is neither 0 nor 11, therefore, the number is not divisible by 11.


(d) 70169308 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 8 + 3 + 6 + 0 = 17

→ Sum of the digits at even places = 0 + 9 + 1 + 7 = 17

→ Difference of both sums = 17 – 17 = 0

Since the difference is 0, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.


(e) 10000001 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1

→ Sum of the digits at even places = 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1

→ Difference of both sums = 1 – 1 = 0

Since the difference is 0, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.


(f) 901153 → Sum of the digits at odd places = 3 + 1 + 0 = 4

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

→ Difference of both sums = 15 – 4 = 11

Since the difference is 11, therefore, the number is divisible by 11.
