This is the property which will be true for all. Doesn't matter how may digits you take it will be always divisible by 9.

ie.2,3,4,5,6...and so on

It holds for 153 too..

sum of digits $=9.$

subtracting 9 from 153 you get 144 which is divisible by 9

Let the $3$ digit number be: $XYZ$

As per the question we have to find the divisibility of number $P$ (let),

$\Rightarrow P=(100X+10Y+Z)-(X+Y+Z)$

$\Rightarrow P=(99X+9Y)$

$\Rightarrow P=9 \times (11X+Y)$

which is divisible by 9.

So if the sum of three digit number is subtracted from the number. The resulting number is always divisible by 9.
