You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Number should be divisible by 4 and 9, it means number must be divisible by LCM of
these numbers, i.e 36.
so, firstly we find the smallest number which is greater than or equal to 500 and
divisible by 36, it is 504.
so, 504, 504 +36, ...........
now, numbers are 504, 540, 576.
so, required number = 3 .

here required numbers are few so find it very easily.
otherwise, you have to do some more task.........
