On Brilliant there are question related to this number. This number can found out without hit-n-trial method.

Clearly the 5th and 10th digits are 5 & 0 respectively,

Now 4th digit can only be from 2 & 6 as 3rd digit is odd and for the number to be divisible by 4 its last two digits must be divisible by 4,

Sum of first 3, next 3 & next 3 digits must be divisible by 3,

Hence,

We get the following combinations for 4th,5th &6th digits - 258 or 654,

Now with use of divisibility of 8 we can figure out 6th,7th & 8th digits,

With help of less hard work we can figure out the number. · 1 year, 3 months ago

I would like to clarify your solution-We know that a number is divisible by $$4$$ when last two digits are divisible by $$4$$ and there are no two digit numbers having $$4$$ and $$8$$ as last digits and are divisible by $$4$$ therefore for $$4^{th}$$ digit we can say that at the $$4^{th}$$ place only $$2$$ or $$4$$ are possible digits.

Similarly , as $$8$$ is divisible by $$4$$ the $$8^{th}$$ digit would be either $$2$$ or $$4$$. Then, as $$Akshay$$ told we can proceed to get the answer. · 1 year, 2 months ago
