Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the sum of the known digits 6+3+2=116 + 3 + 2 = 11.

  • Step 2: Consider each choice for the missing digit and calculate the new sum:

    • =9:11+9=20 ▯ = 9 : \quad 11 + 9 = 20 (not divisible by 3)

    • =8:11+8=19 ▯=8:\quad11+8=19 (not divisible by 3)

    • =7:11+7=18 ▯=7:\quad11+7=18 (divisible by 3)

    • =5:11+5=16 ▯=5:\quad11+5=16 (not divisible by 3)

Check which sum is divisible by 3. The sum of 18 (when ▯ is replaced by 7) is divisible by 3.

Hence, the choice 7\boxed{7} completes the number so it is divisible by 3 without a remainder.

Therefore, the correct digit to complete the number is 77.
