-----------------------------
I don't think any of the arrangements are divisible by 9.
Numbers divisible by 9 have this property that the sum
of the sum of the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
For example the sum of 27 = 9 so 27 is divisible by 9.
But the sum of your digits is 24 = 6, so, as an example,
6783 would not be divisible by 9; and it is not.
