Advertisements
Solution
A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places is either 0 or a multiple of 11.
83721 is divisible by 11.
Sum of the digits at odd places = (1 + 7 + 8) = 16
Sum of the digits at even places = (2 + 3) = 5
Difference of the two sums = (16 − 5) = 11, which is divisible by 11.
