Question
Pay attention on Number 3, 7, 9 and 11.
The Divisibility Rules
Divisible by: | If: | Examples: |
---|---|---|
2 | The last digit is even (0,2,4,6,8) | 128 is 129 is not |
3 | The sum of the digits is divisible by 3 |
381 (3+8+1=12, and 12÷3 = 4) Yes 217 (2+1+7=10, and 10÷3 = 3 1/3) No |
4 | The last 2 digits are divisible by 4 |
1312 is (12÷4=3) |
5 | The last digit is 0 or 5 | 175 is 809 is not |
6 | The number is divisible by both 2 and 3 |
114 (it is even, and 1+1+4=6 and 6÷3 = 2) Yes 308 (it is even, but 3+0+8=11 and 11÷3 = 3 2/3) No |
7 | If you double the last digit and subtract it from the rest of the number and
the answer is:
|
672 (Double 2 is 4, 67-4=63, and 63÷7=9) Yes 905 (Double 5 is 10, 90-10=80, and 80÷7=11 3/7) No |
8 | The last three digits are divisible by 8 |
109816 (816÷8=102) Yes 216302 (302÷8=37 3/4) No |
9 | The sum of the digits is divisible by 9 (Note: you can apply this rule to that answer again if you want) |
1629 (1+6+2+9=18, and again, 1+8=9) Yes 2013 (2+0+1+3=6) No |
10 | The number ends in 0 |
220 is |
11 | If you sum every second digit and then subtract all other digits and the answer is:
|
1364 ((3+4) - (1+6) = 0) Yes 3729 ((7+9) - (3+2) = 11) Yes 25176 ((5+7) - (2+1+6) = 3) No |
12 | The number is divisible by both 3 and 4 |
648 524 |
