A 9 digit number using the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is written randomly without repetition.
Find the probability that number will me divisible by 9 ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Answer. This probability is equal to 1.

Solution

The rule of divisibility by 9 says:


    Integer number is divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.


For 9-digit number, written with the digits  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (each digit is used and each digit is used only once) the sum of digits is

    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45,

which is divisible by 9 for each and every permutation of these digits.


Hence, any such number is divisible by 9.
