Yes

Explanation:

#2340# ends with a #0#, so it is divisible by #10#

You can tell whether a number is divisible by #9# based on whether the sum of its digits is divisible by #9#.

#2+3+4+0 = 9# is divisible by #9#, so #2340# is divisible by #9#

#10# and #9# have no common factor greater than #1#, so #2340# must be divisible by #10 xx 9 = 90#
