Question 3 What will be the digital root of the number 9a + 36b + 13?Any number multiplied by 9 (like 9a) always has a digital root of 9. Example: 27 has digital root = 2 + 7 = 9 Any number multiplied by 36 (like 36b) also has a digital root of 9 Example: 72 has digital root = 7 + 2 = 9 Because 36 is a multiple of 9 Thus, we can sat that Multiples of 9 don't change the digital root when you add them (it's like adding 0 in this magic math). So, we only need to look at the 13. Digital root of 13 is 1 + 3 = 4. Answer: The digital root is 4.
