    DIVISIBILITY RULES

    Divisibility Rule of 2
    A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit of the number is any
    of the following digits 0, 2, 4, 6, 8. The numbers with the last
    digits 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are called even numbers.

    Example: 2580, 4564, 90032 etc. are divisible by 2.

    Divisibility Rule of 3
    A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by
    3.
    Example: 90453 (9 + 0 + 4 +5 + 3 = 21) 21 is divisible by 3. 21
    = 3 × 7. Therefore, 90453 is also divisible by 3.
    Divisibility Rule of 4
    A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4.

    Example: 456832960, here the last two digits are 60 that are divisible
    by 4 i.e.15 × 4 = 60. Therefore, the total number is divisible by 4.

    Divisibility Rule of 5
    A number is divisible by five if the last digit of that number is either 0
    or 5.
    Example: 500985, 3456780, 9005643210, 12345678905 etc.
    Divisibility Rule of 6
    A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

    Example: 10008, have 8 at one’s place so is divisible by 2 and the sum of 1, 0,


    0, 0 and 8 gives the total 9 which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 10008 is divisible
    by 6.

    Divisibility Rule of 7
    Following are the steps to check the divisibility rule for 7,

    Take the last digit and then double the last digit.
    Subtract the result from the remaining number.
    If the number is 0 or a multiple of 7, then the original number is divisible by 7.
    Else, it is not divisible by 7.
    Example: Consider the number 5497555 to test if it is divisible by 7 or not. Add
    the last two digits to twice the remaining number and repeat the same process
    until it reduces to a two-digit number. If the result obtained is divisible by 7 the
    number is divisible by 7.

    55 + 2(54975) = 109950 + 55 = 110005

    05 + 2(1100) = 2200 + 05 = 2205

    05 + 2(22) = 44 + 5 = 49

    Reduced to the two-digit number 49, which is divisible by 7 i.e, 49 = 7 × 7


    Divisibility Rule of 8
    To check the divisibility rule for 11, if a number is divisible by 8 its last three
    digits should be divisible by 8.

    Example: 008 which is divisible by 8, therefore, the total number is divisible by 8.

    Divisibility Rule of 9
    A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. In example
    90453, when we add the digits, we get the result as 21, which is not divisible by 9.

    Example: 909, 5085, 8199, 9369 etc are divisible by 9. Consider 909 (9 + 0 + 9 =
    18). 18 is divisible by 9(18 = 9 × 2). Therefore, 909 is also divisible by 9.
    Divisibility Rule of 10
    A number is divisible by 10 if it has only 0 as its last digit. A
    number that is divisible by 10 is divisible by 5, but a number
    that is divisible by 5 may or may not be divisible by 10.10 is
    divisible by both 5 and 10, but 55 is divisible only by 5, not by
    10.

    Example: 89540, 3456780, 934260, etc are all divisible by 10.
