Use the divisibility rule by 11:

     The number is divisible by 11 if and only if the alternate sum of its digits is divisible by 11.


Regarding this rule, see the lesson
    - Divisibility by 11 rule
in this site.

Then,  if you just know this rule,  all you need is to place the digits in reasonable order.
