CISCE: Class 6
Rule
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of all its digits is also divisible by 9.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 6
Step-by-Step Explanation

CISCE: Class 6
Example
Checking Divisibility by 9 Using the Sum of Digits:
| Number | Divide the number by 9. Is it completely divisible? |
Sum of the digits in the number |
Is the sum divisible by |
| 1980 | ✔ | 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 18 | ✔ |
| 2999 | X | 29 | X |
| 5004 | ✔ | 9 | ✔ |
| 13389 | X | 24 | X |
| 7578 | ✔ | 27 | ✔ |
| 69993 | ✔ | 36 | ✔ |
CISCE: Class 6
Real-Life Application
Suppose you are shopping and your bill shows ₹1,818. You want to check if this amount is likely to be divided equally among 9 friends.
Simply add 1+8+1+8 = 18.
Since 18 is a multiple of 9, 1,818 is divisible by 9!
CISCE: Class 6
Key Points Summary
- Add all the digits of the number.
- If their sum is a multiple of 9 (like 9, 18, 27…), then the number is divisible by 9.
- If not, the number isn’t divisible by 9.
Example Question 1
Check the divisibility of 21436587 by 9.
The sum of the digits of 21436587 is 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 8 + 7 = 36.
This number is divisible by 9 (for 36 ÷ 9 = 4).
We conclude that 21436587 is divisible by 9.
Example Question 2
Check the divisibility of 152875 by 9.
The sum of the digits of 152875 is 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 7 + 5 = 28.
This number is not divisible by 9.
We conclude that 152875 is not divisible by 9.
Example Question 3
If the three-digit number 24x is divisible by 9, what is the value of x?
Since 24x is divisible by 9, sum of its digits, i.e., 2 + 4 + x should be divisible by 9, i.e., 6 + x should be divisible by 9.
This is possible when 6 + x = 9 or 18, ....
But, since x is a digit, therefore, 6 + x = 9, i.e., x = 3.
