Which digits should come in place of * and $\$$ if the number 62684*$\$$ is divisible by both 8 and 5?
Answer
Answer (as printed):
Explanation
Since the given number is divisible by 5, so 0 or 5 must come in place of $\$$. But, a number ending with 5 is never divisible by 8. So, 0 will replace $\$$. Now, the number formed by the last three digits is 4*0, which becomes divisible by 8, if * is replaced by 4. Hence, digits in place of * and $\$$ are 4 and 0 respectively.
