Remainder when a number is divided by a nine

Do you know that there is an easy way to find the remainder when a number is divided by 9?

Example 1:

43 ÷ 9 = 4, remainder = 7

quick remainder: 4 + 3 = 7

Example 2:


28 ÷ 9 = 3, remainder = 1

quick remainder: 2 + 8 = 10 ?

If the addition is ? 9, cast out the 9s, until it is lest than 9.

10 – 9 = 1

Example 3:


2345 ÷ 9 = 260, remainder = 5

quick remainder: 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14

14 – 9 = 5

Example 4:


4489 ÷ 9 = 498, remainder = 7

quick remainder: 4 + 4 + 8 + 9 = 25

25 – 9 = 16

16 – 9 = 7

    To multiply these factors do the following

    99999............999999999999999999999 'a trillion times 9'
    00000............000000588235294117647 is other number
    Initial steps!
    00000............000000588235294117646(one less than factor)
    99999............999999411764705882353(Vertical sum is 9)

    00000...000000588235294117646,99999...999999411764705882353 is exact answer digits
