Given:

Number = 3823P8

Divisible by 11

Formula used:

Rule of 11: (Sum of digits at odd positions) - (Sum of digits at even positions) ≡ 0 (mod 11)

Calculation:

Digits: 3, 8, 2, 3, P, 8

Odd positions (1st, 3rd, 5th): 3, 2, P → Sum = 3 + 2 + P = 5 + P

Even positions (2nd, 4th, 6th): 8, 3, 8 → Sum = 8 + 3 + 8 = 19

⇒ (5 + P) - 19 ≡ 0 (mod 11)

⇒ P - 14 ≡ 0 (mod 11)

⇒ P ≡ 14 (mod 11)

⇒ P = 14 - 11 = 3

∴ Value of P = 3
