    "If the differences in the total debits and the total credits in the trial balance is divisible by nine, what does this indicate? If the differences in the total debits and the total credits in the trial balance is divisible by two, what does this indicate?"

    Divisible by nine is usually a transposition error (e.g. 13 becomes 31).

    Divisible by two usually indicates two debits or two credits were made instead of a debit and a credit.
