1 year agoMultiply 9 times any number and it always “reduces” back down to 9 (add up the individual numbers in the result)
For example: 9 x 872 = 7848, so you take 7848 and split it into 7 + 8 + 4 + 8 = 27, then do it again 2 + 7 = 9 and we’re back to 9
It can be a huge number and it still works:
9 x 987345734 = 8886111606
8+8+8+6+1+1+1+6+0+6 = 45
4+5 = 9
