The repeated additions of face values of multiples and powers of 9 up to single digit always

results in 9.
Eg:
For multiples of 9,
i.

9 X 3 = 27 2 + 7 = 9

ii.

9 X 39 = 351 3+5+1=9

iii.

9X393 = 3537 3+5+3+7=18 1+8=9

For powers of 9,
a. 93=729 7+2+9=18 1+8=9
b. 95=59049 5+9+0+4+9=27 2+7=9
c. 99=387420489 3+8+7+4+2+0+4+8+9=45 4+5=9
Note:
To find a number divisible by 9, do repeated additions of face values as shown above. If the
result is 9, it is divisible by 9.

--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx--xx-xx--xx

The repeated additions of face values of a number including and excluding the 9s the
number contains is always same.
Eg:
i.

393+9=121+2=3
3+0=3

ii.

3933+9+3=151+5=6
3+0+3=6

iii.

595955+9+5+9+5=333+3=6
5+0+5+0+5=151+5=6

Note:
If 9 is added with any single digit number and addition of face value of the answer will result
in the same single digit number.
