  Miriam has eight cards with consecutive three-digit numbers. The units digit of the smallest number is 1,
  the units digit of the largest number is 8. Miriam arranged the cards in a row such that the first number is divisible by 2,
  the second number is divisible by 3, the third number is divisible by 4, and so on until the eighth number which is divisible by 9.
  What is the units digit of the number divisible by 7?
