The sum of numbers from 0 ==> 9 is divisible by 9;
0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45 45 / 9 = 5
Let's take year 1776;
1776-21=1755 1755/9=195
This is true for all multi digit numbers starting with # 10;
10-1=9 9/9=1
78-15=63 63/9=7
358-16=342 342/9=38
486,372,103 - 34 = 486,372,069 486,372,069 / 9 = 54,041,341
The question is: Why is this so?
I don't have the right answer to this question, but what I see from these examples is that the #9 has a 'special' place in a structure of multi digit numbers.
