- #5Show that 527 + 752 + 275 is exactly divisible by 14.Ans : Property:
abc = 100a + 106 + c ...(i)
bca = 1006 + 10c + a ...(ii)
and cab = 100c + 10a + b ...(iii)
Adding, (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
abc + bca + cab = 111a + 111b + 111c = 111(a + b + c) = 3 × 37 (a + b + c)
Now, let us try this method on
527 + 752 + 275 to check is it exactly divisible by 14
Here, a = 5, 6 = 2, c = 7
527 + 752 + 275 = 3 × 37(5 + 2 + 7) = 3 × 37 × 14
Hence, it shows that 527 + 752 + 275 is exactly divisible by 14.
