Question:
Find all possible values of x for which the 4-digit number 320x is divisible by 3. Also, find the numbers.
Solution:
If a number is divisible by 3, then the sum of the digits is also divisible by 3.
$3+2+0+x=5+x$ must be divisible by 3 .
This is possible in the following cases:
(i) $x=1$
$\therefore 5+x=6$
Thus, the number is 3201 .
(ii) $x=4$
$\therefore 5+x=9$
Thus, the number is 3204 .
(iii) $x=7$
$\therefore 5+x=12$
Thus, the number is 3207 .
