Solution to question 6 a.
1368 1 + 3 + 6 + 8 = 18 , which is a multiple of 3, therefore 1368 is divisible by 3. 275232 is divisible by 2 as the last digit is even. Summing the digits 2 + 7 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 21 , which is a multiple of 3, therefore 275232 is divisible by 3. As 275232 is divisible by 2 and 3 it is divisible by 6. 1826 is not divisible by 4 as 26 is not a multiple of 4. 17192
1719 ' 2 2 = 4 4 171'5 2 = 10 - 10 16'1 2 = 2 -2 14 which is divisible by 7
b.
c. d.
17192 is divisible by 7.
