Check if a large number is divisible by 9 or not

Given a number, the task is to find if the number is divisible by 9 or not. The input number may be large and it may not be possible to store even if we use long long int.

Examples:

Input  : n = 69354
Output : Yes

Input  : n = 234567876799333
Output : No

Input  : n = 3635883959606670431112222
Output : No

Since input number may be very large, we cannot use n % 9 to check if a number is divisible by 9 or not, especially in languages like C/C++. The idea is based on following fact.

A number is divisible by 9 if sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

Illustration:



For example n = 9432
Sum of digits = 9 + 4 + 3 + 2
             = 18
Since sum is divisible by 9,
answer is Yes.

How does this work?

Let us consider 1332, we can write it as
1332 = 1*1000 + 3*100 + 3*10 + 2

The proof is based on below observation:
Remainder of 10i divided by 9 is 1
So powers of 10 only results in remainder 1 
when divided by 9.

Remainder of "1*1000 + 3*100 + 3*10 + 2"
divided by 9 can be written as : 
1*1 + 3*1 + 3*1 + 2 = 9
The above expression is basically sum of
all digits.

Since 9 is divisible by 9, answer is yes.

Below is the implementation of above idea.

    int digitSum = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
        digitSum += (str[i]-'0');
  
    // Check if sum of digits is divisible by 9.
    return (digitSum % 9 == 0);
}

    string str = "99333";
    check(str)?  cout << "Yes" : cout << "No ";
