Given:

8-digit number = 4345k423

Number is divisible by 9

Formula used:

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9

Calculation:

Sum of digits = 4 + 3 + 4 + 5 + k + 4 + 2 + 3

⇒ Sum = 25 + k

25 + k ≡ 0 (mod 9)

Find value of k such that (25 + k) is divisible by 9

Try values:

k = 2 → 25 + 2 = 27 

∴ The correct value of k is 2
