https://gmatclub.com/forum/10-25-560-is ... 26300.html
We are given the expression \( 10^{25} - 560 \) and asked to determine which of the following numbers (11, 8, 5, 4, or 3) **does not divide** the result.

Let’s evaluate the divisibility of \( 10^{25} - 560 \) by each of these numbers.

### **Step 1: Divisibility by 5**
Any number \( 10^n \) (where \( n \) is a positive integer) is divisible by 5 since it ends in zero. So, \( 10^{25} \) is divisible by 5, and 560 is also divisible by 5 because \( 560 \div 5 = 112 \).

Thus, \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is divisible by 5.

- **Not the answer.**

### **Step 2: Divisibility by 4**
We check divisibility by 4 using the last two digits of a number. The last two digits of \( 10^{25} \) are "00", and the last two digits of 560 are "60".

Thus, \( 10^{25} - 560 \) ends in 40, which is divisible by 4.

- **Not the answer.**

### **Step 3: Divisibility by 8**
We check divisibility by 8 using the last three digits of the number. The last three digits of \( 10^{25} \) are "000", and the last three digits of 560 are "560".

Now, \( 1000 - 560 = 440 \), and 440 is divisible by 8 because \( 440 \div 8 = 55 \).

Thus, \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is divisible by 8.

- **Not the answer.**

### **Step 4: Divisibility by 11**
To check divisibility by 11, we apply the alternating sum rule. For a number to be divisible by 11, the alternating sum of its digits must be divisible by 11.

The alternating sum of the digits of \( 10^{25} \) is \( 1 - 0 + 0 - 0 + \dots + 0 = 1 \), and the alternating sum of the digits of 560 is \( 5 - 6 + 0 = -1 \).

Thus, the alternating sum of \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is \( 1 - (-1) = 2 \), which is **not divisible by 11**.

Therefore, \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is **not divisible by 11**.

- **Answer: 11**

### **Step 5: Divisibility by 3**
To check divisibility by 3, we sum the digits of the number. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.

The sum of the digits of \( 10^{25} \) is 1, and the sum of the digits of 560 is \( 5 + 6 + 0 = 11 \). So, the sum of the digits of \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is \( 1 - 11 = -10 \), and the absolute value is 10, which is **not divisible by 3**.

However, there can be a calculation mix-up, so let’s verify step-by-step manually

Now, \( 1000 - 560 = 440 \), and 440 is divisible by 8 because \( 440 \div 8 = 55 \).

Thus, \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is divisible by 8.

- **Not the answer.**

### **Step 4: Divisibility by 11**
To check divisibility by 11, we apply the alternating sum rule. For a number to be divisible by 11, the alternating sum of its digits must be divisible by 11.

The alternating sum of the digits of \( 10^{25} \) is \( 1 - 0 + 0 - 0 + \dots + 0 = 1 \), and the alternating sum of the digits of 560 is \( 5 - 6 + 0 = -1 \).

Thus, the alternating sum of \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is \( 1 - (-1) = 2 \), which is **not divisible by 11**.

Therefore, \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is **not divisible by 11**.

- **Answer: 11**

### **Step 5: Divisibility by 3**
To check divisibility by 3, we sum the digits of the number. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is divisible by 3.

The sum of the digits of \( 10^{25} \) is 1, and the sum of the digits of 560 is \( 5 + 6 + 0 = 11 \). So, the sum of the digits of \( 10^{25} - 560 \) is \( 1 - 11 = -10 \), and the absolute value is 10, which is **not divisible by 3**.

However, there can be a calculation mix-up, so let’s verify step-by-step manually
Irrespective of the approach you use, your answer in the end has to be correct....you are mentioning 11 as the answer which is wrong.....You might see Bunuel has already shared the link for the answer.......how I approached the problem is ...10^25 - 564 --> I used 10^5 as an eg - 560 = 99440.....did a Prime factorization of 440 --> 2 * 2 *2 * 5 * 11 so that tells you that the part 440 comprise 2, 4, 5, 6, 11 as factors......so for the no ending with 440 U can conclude it’s divisible by 4, 5 and 8......now for the 1st part 10^6 -560 --> 999440 10^7 - 560 --> 9999560........for odd no of 9’s eg 999440 no won’t be divisible by 11 but for 10^25 - 560 --> thr must be 22 9’s440 --> even no of 9’s means no is divisible by 11......only option remaining is 3 which shd be the answer.......logic for non-divisibility by 3 even no of 9’s (22 *9 + 4 + 4) = sum of digits is an even no so not divisible by 3

Hi ^^ Just a short question did you have to wait some hours after you bought a sub to get the tests unlocked? Somehow they are still greyed out. Even after i used the links.

Hello . How do I solve this?

A man has twice as many 25-paisa coins as he has 10-paisa coins now. If he had taka 1.50 more in 2 hand and replaced it with all 10-paisa coins, he would have twice as many 10-paisa coins as he has 25-paisa coins. How many 25-paisa coins does he have now?
a.5

Hey everyone!

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m reaching out as I recently decided not to pursue an MBA at this time. As a result, I have an unused subscription to Amerasia Consulting’s MBA admissions services (one of the best consultants for MBA abroad).

Website:
https://lnkd.in/g_8cRaJH


I understand these subscriptions can be quite expensive, and I’m hoping to find someone who might be interested in taking it over. The subscription includes guided help with the following:

1. Personal branding and school selection
2. Essays strategy and editing
3. Resume editing
4. Letters of recommendation guidance
5. Review of final submission package
6. School interaction guidance
7. Mock interview
8. Waitlist guidance

Please let me know if you’re interested or know someone who might be. I’m happy to provide more details about the subscription.

Thanks. Have a great day!

Hi Fariha.....2nd sentence is a bit messed up the way U got the Q and also we shd know taka to paisa conversion....if taka is Rupees then 1 Rs = 100 paisa...if taka is Bangladesh’s currency then I think it’s 1 taka = 120 paisa.....however the logic shd be comething like assume 10 paisa coins to be x then 25 paisa coins wd be 2x (twice the no) ......1.5 taka replaced with 10 paisa coins assuming 1 taka = 100 paisa wd require (15) 10 paisa coins ....so total no of 10 paisa x + 15 = 2 * (2x) [total no of 25 paisa] --> x + 15 = 4x --> x =5 so no of 5 paisa coins =5 no of 25 paisa coins wd be 2*5 = 10 so option B

Hi! I am trying out the forum quiz but I would like to avoid the official prep test questions because I am yet to take them. I’ve seen in another thread that I should be able to filter them out but I dont see a "gmat prep" in the filter options

How should I filter out these questions?
