The six-digit number <math>\underline{2}\,\underline{0}\,\underline{2}\,\underline{1}\,\underline{0}\,\underline{A}</math> is prime for only one digit <math>A.</math> What is <math>A?</math>
 
 
 
<math>\textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 3 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 5 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 9</math>
 
 
 
== Solution ==
 
 
 
By divisibility rules, when <math>A=1,</math> the number <math>202101</math> is divisible by <math>3.</math> When <math>A=3,</math> the number <math>202103</math> is divisible by <math>11.</math> When <math>A=5,</math> the number <math>202105</math> is divisible by <math>5.</math> When <math>A=7,</math> the number <math>202107</math> is divisible by <math>3.</math> Thus, by the process of elimination we have that the answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 9}.</math>
