If a positive integer is divisible by 45 it must be divisible by both 9 and 5. Since any integer of the form XY45 ends in 5 it is automatically divisible by 5. Therefore we only need to make sure the number is divisible by 9 as well. A positive integer is divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 9. Since the sum of the last two digits is a multiple of 9, the sum of the first two digits must also be a multiple of 9. Therefore, the only possibilities are 1845, 2745, 3645, 4545, 5445, 6345, 7245, 8145, 9045, and 9945. So there are exactly 10 such positive integers. Edwin
