Well, 9 8 7 6 5 2 4 1 3 is divisible by 1 1 . A larger 9 -digit number with distinct digits would look like 9 8 7 6 5 A B C D with A , B , C , D ≤ 4 . Divisibility rules say that B − A + D − C should be congruent to 4 mod 1 1 . But ( B + D ) − ( A + C ) is between 1 − 7 = − 6 and 7 − 1 = 6 , so it must equal 4 . This narrows down the possibilities for the last four digits; here's the complete list: 0 2 1 3 0 3 1 2 1 2 0 3 1 3 0 2 1 3 2 4 1 4 2 3 2 3 1 4 2 4 1 3 Since 2 4 1 3 is the largest of these, the answer is 9 8 7 6 5 2 4 1 3 .
