Multiply 9 by any number and the value always is nine.
9x9=81 (8+1=(9}
9x283=2547 (2+5+4+7=18 1+8=(9)
9x3942578=35483202 (3+5+4+8+3+2+0+2=27 2+7=(9)
Before computers, i think that is how accountants would find errors and flaws and corruption in company books, not sure of the exact process, but that is what an old accountant told me years ago.
Quoting: FHL(C)It's true. When a particular account would get out of balance, the difference between dr and cr balances would give a clue as to where the mistake was made making it easier to find and correct. If the difference is divisible by 9, and there is only one error causing the problem, it's a slide or transposition error. Just one example. There are a lot of tricks like that for finding problems within the books.
