ok so what I did that You gave me the number 467 first
now i did like this
unit digit = 7 = 7-2 = 5
ten's digit = 6 =6
hundred's digit = 4
thousand's digit = ? = 2 ( that you subtracted first )
mathslover (mathslover):
hence I have ... 2465 as the answer
mathslover (mathslover):
Also the numbers that I chose were not my guess ..
you gave me : 321 what I did was just subtract 321 from 999... and just wrote the number as my guess :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol...;) that was nice
mathslover (mathslover):
:P .. nice to know :)

mathslover (mathslover):
I guessed...
Parth (parthkohli):
BTW, this could have been there in chat too. :p
OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now subtract its inverse from itself
like once u have guessed number as 876 then u do this :
876-678=something

if u subtract any number inverse from itself...then the result is divisible by 9
Parth (parthkohli):
Yes, I know the algebraic proof. :)
Parth (parthkohli):
And any number divisible by 9 has digits that sum up to a multiple of 9.
