Answer: No

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisibility rule for 8 is we look at the last three digits only.

The 083 is what we focus on

Is 083, aka 83, a multiple of 8? The answer is no because 83/8 = 10.375 is not a whole number result. The closest multiples are 80 and 88.

So if the number ended with something like 080 or 088, then we would have a multiple of 8 in the much larger number.

But 083 is not a multiple of 8, so the original number isn't either.
