Math Problem Statement

19379088 divisible by 11

Solution

To determine if 19,379,088 is divisible by 11, we use the rule for divisibility by 11. The rule states that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits in the odd positions and the sum of the digits in the even positions is a multiple of 11 (including 0).

Let's apply this rule to 19,379,088:

  1. Identify the digits in odd positions: 1,3,9,81, 3, 9, 8
  2. Identify the digits in even positions: 9,7,0,89, 7, 0, 8

Calculate the sum of the digits in the odd positions: 1+3+9+8=211 + 3 + 9 + 8 = 21

Calculate the sum of the digits in the even positions: 9+7+0+8=249 + 7 + 0 + 8 = 24

Find the difference between these sums: 2124=3|21 - 24| = 3

Since the difference (3) is not a multiple of 11, 19,379,088 is not divisible by 11.
