The Rule for 8: If the last three digits of a whole number are divisible by 8, then the entire number is divisible by 8.
so, the number 52347635x2 divisible by+8 if 5x2 divisible by 8
find possible value/s of x: use numbers from 0 to 9
x=0=>502%2F8=62.75=>+0 is not possible value
x=1=>512%2F8=64=> highlight%281%29 highlight%28is%29 possible value
x=2=>522%2F8=65.25=> 2 is not possible value
x=3=>532%2F8=66.5=> 3 is not possible value
x=4=>542%2F8=67.75=> 4 is not possible value
x=5=>552%2F8=69=> highlight%285%29 highlight%28is%29 possible value
x=6=>562%2F8=70.25=> 6+is not possible value
x=7=>572%2F8=71.5=> 7+ is not possible value
x=8=>582%2F8=72.75=> 8 is not possible value
x=9=>592%2F8=74=> highlight%289%29 highlight%28is%29 possible value
answer: possible values of x+ are 1+, 5+, and 9

the number is: 5234763512,5234763552, or 5234763592
check:
5234763512%2F8=654345439
5234763552%2F8=654345444
5234763592%2F8=654345449
