Is 8,3978,397 divisible by 99? If so, express it as 9×9 \times another factor. If not, explain.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number in question is8,397. We are checking if it is divisible by9

STEP 2

To check if a number is divisible by9, we can use the rule of9. The rule of9 states that a number is divisible by9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by9.

STEP 3

First, we need to find the sum of the digits of8,397.
Sumofdigits=8+3+9+7Sum\, of\, digits =8 +3 +9 +7

STEP 4

Calculate the sum of the digits.
Sumofdigits=8+3+9+7=27Sum\, of\, digits =8 +3 +9 +7 =27

STEP 5

Now, we need to check if the sum of the digits (27) is divisible by9.

STEP 6

Calculate the remainder when27 is divided by9.
Remainder=27mod9Remainder =27 \mod9

STEP 7

Calculate the remainder.
Remainder=27mod9=0Remainder =27 \mod9 =0

STEP 8

Since the remainder is0, the sum of the digits (27) is divisible by. Therefore, the original number (8,397) is also divisible by.

STEP 9

Now, we need to write8,397 as the product of9 and another factor. We can do this by dividing8,397 by9.
Factor=8,397/9Factor =8,397 /9

STEP 10

Calculate the factor.
Factor=8,397/9=933Factor =8,397 /9 =933So,8,397 can be written as the product of9 and933.
