Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Let the three-digit number be ABC.
So, ABC = 100A + 10B + C
The sum of the digits ABC = A + B + C
Therefore, (100A + 10B + C) – (A + B + C) = 99A + 9B
= 9(11A + B)
So, when (A + B + C) is subtracted from that integer, the result is always divisible by 9.
Hence, the answer is 9.
