A. 345960 B. 345970 C. 345980 D. 345985 E. 345990 Key concepts: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 A number is divisible by 4 if the number created by the last two digits is divisible by 4 A number is divisible by 5 if the units digit is 5 or 0 A quick glance tells us that all 5 numbers are divisible by 5 Now check divisibility by 4 Start with E, the biggest answer choice. E) Since 90 (the last 2 digits) is not divisible by 4, we know that 345990 is not divisible by 4. ELIMINATE E. D) Since 85 (the last 2 digits) is not divisible by 4, we know that 345985 is not divisible by 4. ELIMINATE D. C) 80 (the last 2 digits) IS divisible by 4, so 345980 IS divisible by 4 Let's stay with C. Is 345980 divisible by 3? 3+4+5+9+8+0 = 29 Since 29 is NOT divisible by 3, we know that 345980 is NOT divisible by 3 ELIMINATE C. B. 345970 Since 70 (the last 2 digits) is not divisible by 4, we know that 345970 is not divisible by 4 ELIMINATE B. By the process of elimination, the correct answer is A Cheers, Brent _________________ Test confidently with gmatprepnow.com GMAT Club Legend Joined: 18 Aug 2017 Posts: 5020 Location: India Concentration: Sustainability, Marketing GPA: 4 WE: Marketing (Energy and Utilities) Re: A positive integer n = 345xyz has six digits.

What is the maximum poss [#permalink] ### Show Tags 15 Sep 2019, 19:07 => If $$345xyz$$ is divisible by $$3, 3+4+5+x+y+z$$ is divisible by $$3$$, and $$x+y+z$$ is divisible by $$3$$. If $$345xyz$$ is divisible by $$4$$, the last two digits $$yz$$ must form a $$2$$-digit number that is divisible by $$4$$. So, $$10y+z$$ is divisible by $$4.$$ If $$345xyz$$ is divisible by $$5, z$$ must be $$0$$ or $$5.$$ In order for $$10y + z$$ to be divisible by $$4$$, we must have $$z = 0.$$ The possible values of $$y$$ are $$0, 2, 4, 6$$ and $$8$$. If $$y=0$$ and $$z=0$$, then the maximum value of $$x$$ is $$9,$$ and $$345xyz$$ is $$345900.$$ If $$y=2$$ and $$z=0$$, then the maximum value of $$x$$ is $$7$$, and $$345xyz$$ is $$345720.$$ If $$y=4$$ and $$z=0$$, then the maximum value of $$x$$ is $$8$$, and $$345xyz$$ is $$345840.$$ If $$y=6$$ and $$z=0$$, then the maximum value of $$x$$ is $$9$$, and $$345xyz$$ is $$345960.$$ If $$y=8$$ and $$z=0$$, then the maximum value of $$x$$ is $$7$$, and $$345xyz$$ is $$345780.$$ The maximum value of $$345xyz$$ is $$345960.$$ Therefore, A is the answer.
