Given Number: 48,251
Test a Number for Divisibility by Nine (9):
• A Number is divisible by 9 if the Sum of the Digits in the Number is divisible by 9
Sum of the Digits in 48,251: 4+8+2+5+1 = 20
20 is not divisible by 9
Therefore, 48,251 is NOT divisible by 9
Note: Since 48,251 is not divisible by 9, it follows that 48,251 is also not divisible by any multiple of 9 (18, 27, 36, …)
