Suppose x is a positive integer with n digits, say x=d1d2d3…dn. If 9 is a divisor of d1+d2+…dn, prove then 9 is a divisor of x.
My attempt: suppose x=4518. Therefore d1=4,d2=5,d3=1,d4=8 those added together equals 18, where 9 is a divisor.
With that in mind 4518 can be written as 4000+500+10+8. How do you show that 9 is a divisor of this entire number from the information given?
