What to Focus On

  • A number in generalized form is written as the sum of products of each digit with its place value.
  • Place values depend on the position of the digit.
  • A three-digit example is 3479 = 3 × 1000 + 4 × 100 + 7 × 10 + 9 × 1.

  • ab = 10a + b
  • ab does not mean a × b
  • a is 1 to 9 in a two-digit or three-digit number; b and c are 0 to 9

  • ab + ba = 11(a + b)
  • The sum is divisible by 11.
  • The sum is also divisible by a + b.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

ab means a × b

The digit a can be 0 in a two-digit or three-digit number

A sum of a number and its reverse is divisible only by 11
