I'm assuming writing "one digit on the both sides of 57" means you write the same digit to either side, like in 1571?
Given a number
with 
digits, prepending and appending the same digit 
, 
(omit 0 because it doesn't change the starting number), is the same as multiplying by 10 and adding 
. We have 
, so we're looking for such that
8 and 9 are coprime, so we can use the Chinese remainder theorem.
which simplifies to
Now we apply the CRT. We want some number such that, taken modulo 8, returns a remainder of 6, but taken modulo 9, returns a remainder of 3. So we could try
Modulo 8, the second term vanishes, and
. However, modulo 9, the first term vanishes but 
, whereas we only want 3. So we multiply the second term by the inverse of 2 modulo 9.
To find the inverse, notice that
, so 
, and so we multiply the second term by 5. Now,
and
so we find that
. In particular, the smallest positive solution is 30, which is larger than 9 so there are no single-digit choices of that makes the new number divisible by 72.
