    For a number to be divisible by 8, the last three digits must be divisible by 8. Here, the last three digits are *16. Let's evaluate the values for *: тАв If a= 6: 616├╖ 8 = 77 (divisible) тАв If a= 7: 716├╖ 8 = 89.5 (not divisible) тАв If a = 8: 816 ├╖┬а 8 = 102 (divisible) тАв If a = 9: 916├╖ 8= 114.5 (not divisible) The largest value of a that makes the number divisible by 8 is 8.
