Write five digits whose sum is 9.
Use the five digits in any order to create a five-digit number.
Divide that number by 9. Is there a remainder?
Now write six digits whose sum is 9.
Use the six digits in any order to create a six-digit number.
Divide that number by 9. Is there a remainder?
Use the rule above to write a seven-digit number that is a multiple of 9.

Is there any digit 0–9 that CANNOT be the final digit in a number that is a multiple of 9?
