774958A96B is the number. It's divisible by 8 if the last 3 digits are

960, 968, B can be 0 or 8

it's divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is : A+55+B

if B=0 : A+55 should be divisible by 9 : A=8 (or A+55 -> A+5+5->A+10->A+1)

if B=8, A+9 should be divisible by 9, A=0

there are 2 numbers : 7749580968 7749588960
