Complete the number so that it is divisible by 3 without a remainder:
?321
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
- Step 1: Observe the given number ?321 and identify the digits we have: 3, 2, and 1.
- Step 2: Sum these digits: 3+2+1=6.
- Step 3: Add the digit represented by "?", which gives us 6+?.
- Step 4: Find the digit "?" such that the sum 6+? is divisible by 3.
Now, let's proceed with the calculation:
We need to select a digit from 0 to 9 that makes 6+? a multiple of 3.
Checking each option:
- ?=0: 6+0=6 (divisible by 3)
- ?=1: 6+1=7 (not divisible by 3)
- ?=2: 6+2=8 (not divisible by 3)
- ?=3: 6+3=9 (divisible by 3)
- ?=4: 6+4=10 (not divisible by 3)
- ?=5: 6+5=11 (not divisible by 3)
- ?=6: 6+6=12 (divisible by 3)
- ?=7: 6+7=13 (not divisible by 3)
- ?=8: 6+8=14 (not divisible by 3)
- ?=9: 6+9=15 (divisible by 3)
Therefore, from the choices given, the correct digit is 9 since it is provided as an option.
Thus, the complete number that is divisible by 3 without a remainder is 9321.
