Placing which of the following two digits at the right end of 45304530 makes the resultant six digit number divisible by 6,76, 7 and 99:

Solution

Correct Option: 1

We need to place two digits at the right end of 45304530 to make a six-digit number divisible by 66, 77, and 99.

The number looks like: 4530__4530\_ \_

If a number is divisible by both 66 and 99, it must be divisible by 22, 33, and 99. Since divisibility by 99 already covers divisibility by 33, we really need the number to be divisible by 22, 99, and 77.


Let's check option (a): 453096453096

Divisibility by 22:

Last digit =6= 6 (even) ✅


Divisibility by 99:

A number is divisible by 99 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 99.

4+5+3+0+9+6=274 + 5 + 3 + 0 + 9 + 6 = 27

279=3\dfrac{27}{9} = 3


Divisibility by 66:

Since it's divisible by both 22 and 33 (since 2727 is divisible by 33) ✅


Divisibility by 77:

4530967=64728\dfrac{453096}{7} = 64728

Exact division, no remainder ✅


453096453096 is divisible by 66, 77, and 99 — all conditions satisfied.

You can quickly eliminate other options by checking the easiest rules first:

  • If the last digit is odd → not divisible by 22 → not divisible by 66 → eliminated immediately
  • If the digit sum is not a multiple of 99 → not divisible by 99 → eliminated

Always check divisibility by 22 and 99 first — they're the fastest. Only if both pass, then check divisibility by 77.


The two digits are 99 and 66, making the number 453096453096.
