    Cause \(\overline{3AA1}⋮9\)

    So \(\left(3+2A+1\right)⋮9\Leftrightarrow\left(4+2A\right)⋮9\)

    And \(0\le A\le9\) (Cause A is a number which can be represented in a four-digit number).

    Make a table and do calculating we have A represent the number 7 which \(\left(4+2\cdot7\right)=18⋮9\)

    So the digit that A represents is 7.

    Because \(\overline{3AA1}\) divisible by 9

    => 3 + 2A + 1 divisible by 9

    But 3 + 1 = 4

    => 2A divide 9 redundancy 5

    But 0 \(\le A\le9\)

    \(\Rightarrow0\le2A\le18\)

    => 2A = 5 or 2A = 14

    If 2A = 5 => A unsatisfactory

    If 2A = 14 => A = 7

    So A = 7 and \(\overline{3AA1}=3771\)

    \(3AA1⋮9\) => \(3+A+A+1⋮9\) => \(4+A.2⋮9\) => \(4+A.2=\left\{9;18;...\right\}\)

    If \(A=1\) then \(4+A.2=4+1.2=6\left(wrong\right)\)

    ...................

    We will have \(A=7\)
