- Conditions for divisibility by 15
A number is divisible by if and only if it is divisible by both and .
So the 6-digit number must satisfy:
- last digit is (for divisibility by ),
- sum of digits is divisible by (for divisibility by ).
- Fix the last digit
Since the digits available are and there is no , the only way for the number to be divisible by is that its last digit must be .
So we must form a 6-digit number using digits from without repetition, with fixed at the units place.
Thus we need to choose the other digits from
- Use divisibility by 3
The sum of all digits to is
A 6-digit number is formed by omitting exactly one digit from these 7 digits.
If the omitted digit is , then the sum of the 6 used digits is
For divisibility by , we need Since we get
Among the digits , those congruent to are
But digit must be present as the last digit, so the omitted digit cannot be anyway. Hence valid omitted digits are:
So there are valid choices for the omitted digit.
- Arrange the remaining digits
After omitting one valid digit, we have exactly 6 digits including , with fixed in the last place.
The remaining digits can be arranged in the first positions in ways.
For each of the valid omitted digits, number of such arrangements is .
Therefore total number of required 6-digit numbers is
- Final answer
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer:
Our derived answer is also , so they agree.
