an old one

any number x 9 ,
the answer will give 9 if the digits are added up.

e.g 123 x 9 = 1107
1+1+0+7 = 9

what about 9 x 11, 21, 31...and so on? does not work.

9 = 0


disagree ?


ok take any number


e.g 11

11 + 9 = 20 11 + 0 = 11

2+0 = 2 1+1 = 2

2 = 2

hence 9 = 0

magic....go ahead try with any number (e.g 11 ) that you want !

of course bryan .

9 x 11= 99 ( 9 + 9 =18-->1+8 = 9)

9 x 22 = 198 , 1 + 9 + 8= 18-->1+8=9

if u keep adding the digits of the answer( of any number in this universe x 9 )..the sum shall always yield 9

bryan:

9x11=99
then you take 9+9=18
then 1+8=9

all the digits in any number times nine do eventually add up to nine.

it also works with subtraction

lets take any other number and minus it from 9 and 0 respectively

22


22-9=13

1+3 =4



and 22 - 0 = 22

2+2 = 4

4=4

hence 9 = 0

I didnt do any tricks..can anyone explain this ;)

* P.S-->the two equations above will work for any number in this universe greater than 9

re: 9

The divisibility trick with the number 9 is that,

9 divides a number x if and only if 9 divides the sum of the digits of x.

Proof: First a quick note, by defintion, two integers, say x and y, are congruent modulo m, written

x ≡ y (mod m)

if m divides x - y, i.e., y = x + some multiple of m.

Thus, for the number 9 we have
10^r ≡ 1 (mod 9) for all r.

Since
X = x(n)10^n + x(n-1)10^(n-1) + . . . x(1)10^1 +x
we thus have X ≡ x(n) + x(n-1) + . . . x(1) + x (mod 9)

Thus, 9 divides x if and only if

x ≡ 0 (mod 9)

if and only if the sum of the digits of x is congruent to 0 (mod 9), if and only if 9 divides the sum of the digits of x.
