6 (a) 34 55 76 83 111 121
From this list of numbers, write down all the multiples of 11.
...................................................[1]
(b) Zaid has a non-calculator method for working out if a number is a multiple of 11.
He shows his method for the number 919 281.
Subtract and add alternately the digits in the number. 9-1+9-2+8-1 = 22
Check if the answer is a multiple of 11. 22 = 2#11
As 22 is a multiple of 11 then 919 281 is a multiple of 11.
Show that the number 918 271 937 is a multiple of 11 by using Zaid’s method.
