Do as directed below 1) Consider any 4 digit number, except 1111, 2222.etc. (e.g. 3594.

.) 2) Arrange the digits in this number in ascending order and descending order. (For above number, 3594 the no. with ascending order of digits is 3459 and the other no. is 9543). 3) Subtract the lower no. from higher one. (For above case subtraction will be: 9543 3459 = 6084). 4) Go to step 2 and repeat steps 2 and 3 for the answer you get. For above case 8640 0468 = 8172 8721 1278 = 7443 7443 3447 = 3996 9963 3699 = 6264 6642 2466 = 4176 7641 1467 = 6174 7641 1467 = 6174 You will be surprised for any 4 digit number of the kind mentioned in point 1, you will end with the answer 6174 and all answer you get after the division is divisible by 9.
