    What do you mean? Do you have to enter a number to the end of, say, 42 and create a three digit number divisible by 9?

    If so, note that a number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

    Thus, if we had 3 to 42 to get 423, the sum of the digits (4+2+3=9) is divisible by 9, therefore, so is 423 divisible by 9.
