1234 - Divisible by 2 1237 - Not divisible by 2 Is 23457 divisible by 3? Add up all the digits in the number. 1) 2 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 7 = 24; If the sum is divisible by 3 then the number 2) 24: 2 + 4 = 6 is also divisible by 3. 3) 6 is divisible by 3; so 23457 is also divisible by 3 If the last 2 digits of a number is divisible 12320: Last 2 digits (20) is divisible by 4 by 4, then the number also divisible by 4 So 12320 is also divisible by 4. 4590: number ends with 0; 3265: If the last digit is a 5 or a 0, the number is number ends with 5 divisible by 5. So both are divisible by 5. 2568 is divisible by 6 because it is divisible by 2 and 3. If the number is divisible by 2 and 3 then it 1) Last digit (8) is even. So divisible is divisible by 6 also. by 2 Apply divisibility rule of 2 and 3. 2) sum of all digits: 2 + 5 + 6 + 8 = 21 3) 2 + 1 = 3 (3 is divisible by 3) Double the last digit and subtract it from the Is 16184 divisible by 7? rest of the number. 1) 1618 - (2 * 4) = 1610 If the answer is divisible by 7 (or 0) then it 2) 161 - (2 *0) = 161 is divisible by 7 3) 16 - 2 = 14 4) 14 is divisible by 7. So 16184 is This rule can be applied until the result is also divisible by 7. small enough to divide by 7. If the last three digits of the number is divisible by 8 then the entire number is Is 18512 is divisible by 8? divisible by 8. Last 3 digits of 18512 is 512. 512 is The following rule can be used for quick divisible by 8. elimination. So 18512 is divisible by 8. Apply divisibility rule of 2 and 4, If it fails then the number can not be divided by 8. 11916 divisible by 9 Add up all the digits in the number. 1) 1 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 18 If the sum is divisible by 9 then the number 2) 1 + 8 = 9 is also divisible by 9. 3) 9 is divisible by 9. 23760: Last digit is 0 so it is divisible If the last digit of the number is 0 then the by 10. number is divisible by 10. 34561: Last digit is not 0 so it is not divisible by 10. Alternately add and subtract the digits from 365167484 is divisible by 11, start by left to right. (Assume 0 is added to the first subtracting: [0+]3-6+5-1+6-7+4-8+4 = digit.) 0; If the result (including 0) is divisible by 11, therefore 365167484 is divisible by the number is also. 11. The number is divisible by both 3 and 4 2772 divisible by 12 because it is then the number is divisible by 12. divisible by 3 and 4. Apply divisibility rule of 3 and 4. 1) 2 + 7 + 7 + 2 = 18 ; 1 + 8 = 9. 9 is

divisible by 3 2) last two digits of 2772 = 72. 72 is divisible by 4 Divisibility Test 2010 UncleMath.com
