Divisibility Tests and Prime Factorization

This document discusses divisibility tests and prime factorization. It provides definitions of divisibility and factors. It then lists various divisibility tests for numbers 2 through 12, such as a number being divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. Examples are given to illustrate each divisibility test. The purpose is to provide quick ways to determine if one number is divisible by another through these rules without needing to do long division.

Assistant Professor 1
TESTS FOR DIVISIBILITY

Definition Example
One whole number is divisible 18 is divisible by 9 since
by another if, after dividing, the 18/9 = 2 with a
remainder is zero. remainder of 0.
If one whole number is divisible Since 18 is divisible by
by another number, then the 9, 9 is a factor of 18.
second number is a factor of
the first number.
A divisibility test is a rule for Divisibility Test for 3: If
determining whether one the sum of the digits of
whole number is divisible by a number is divisible
another. It is a quick way to by 3, then the number
find factors of large numbers. is divisible by 3.

Divisibility Tests Example


A number is divisible by 2 if the 168 is divisible by 2
last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

A number is divisible by 3 if the 168


sum of the digits is divisible by
3.
A number is divisible by 4 if the 316
number formed by the last two
digits is divisible by 4.

A number is divisible by 5 if the 195

TESTS FOR DIVISIBILITY

Divisibility Tests Example


A number is divisible by 6 if it is 168
divisible by both 2 and 3.

A number is divisible by 7 if 672


when you double the last digit
and subtract it from a number
made by the other digits, the
result is divisible by 7.
A number is divisible by 8 if the 7 120
number formed by the last three
digits is divisible by 8.
