The concept of zero as a placeholder and a numeral originated in ancient civilizations such as the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, and Mayans. However, the modern form of zero as we know it today was developed in ancient India, particularly by mathematicians like Brahmagupta and Aryabhata in the 5th century. It eventually spread to the Arab world and Europe, shaping the development of mathematics and numeral systems.

Which digits should come in place of and if the number 62684 is divisible by both 8 and 5?

Sol. Since the given number is divisible by 5, so 0 or 5 must come in place of $. But, a number ending with 5 is never divisible by 8. So, 0 will replace $. Now, the number formed by the last three digits is 4*0, which becomes divisible by 8, if * is replaced by 4. Hence, digits in place of * and $ are 4 and 0 respectively.
