Find all digits x, y such that
is divisible by 36.
The number divisible by 36 is also divisible by 4 & 9.
Since, 36 = 4 × 9
For divisibility by 4,
The last two digits of the number should be divisible by 4 for the number to be divisible by 4.
The last two digits of the number 34x5y is 5y.
5y should be divisible by 4.
⇒ y = 2 or y = 6
(0 ≤ y ≤ 9)
Because 52 is divisible by 4 and 56 is also divisible by 4.
For divisibility by 9,
The sum of digits of the number should be divisible by 9 for the number to be divisible by 9.
Sum of digits of 34x5y is,
Sum = 3 + 4 + x + 5 + y
⇒ Sum = 12 + x + y
If y = 2,
Sum = 12 + x + 2
⇒ Sum = 14 + x
Now if x = 4, (0 ≤ x ≤ 9)
Then sum = 18, which is divisible by 9.
And if x = 13,
Then sum = 27, which is divisible by 9 but x ≠ 13 as 13 is a 2-digit number.
So, we have found one pair of solution. That is, (x, y) = (4, 2).
If y = 6,
Sum = 12 + x + 6
⇒ Sum = 18 + x
Now if x = 0, (0 ≤ x ≤ 9)
Then sum = 18, which is divisible by 9.
Also, if x = 9, (0 ≤ x ≤ 9)
Then sum = 27, which is divisible by 9.
So, we have found two pair of solutions. That is, (x, y) = (0, 6) and (x, y) = (9, 6).
Thus, we have x = 4, y = 2 or x = 0, y = 6 or x = 9, y = 6.
