DIVISIBILITY
Numbers are divisible by 2 Numbers are divisible by 3
if... if...
Its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8). For example, The sum of its digits is divisible by 3. For
2580 and 4564 are divisible by 2 because it ends example, 90453 is divisible by 3 because 9 + 0 +
with 0 and 4. 4 + 5 + 3 = 21, and 21 is divisible by 3.
Numbers are divisible by 4 Numbers are divisible by 5
if... if...
The last two digits are divisible by 4. For example,
Its last digit is 0 or 5. For example, 500985
456832960 is divisible by 4 because the last two
and 3456780 are divisible by 5
digits, 60, are divisible by 4
Numbers are divisible by 6 Numbers are divisible by 7
if... if...
After you multiply the last digit by 2, subtract the it
It is divisible by both 2 and 3. For example, 10008
from the remaining numbers. Repeat (if there are
is divisible by 6 because it is divisible by both 2
more than 3 numbers) until you get a 2 digit number.
(last digit is 8) and 3 (sum of digits is 9)
If that number is divisible by 7, then the rest is also
divisible by 7
Numbers are divisible by 8 Numbers are divisible by 9
if... if...
The last three digits are divisible by 8. For The sum of its digits is divisible by 9. For
example, 49008 is divisible by 8 because the last example, 909 is divisible by 9 because 9 + 0 + 9 =
three digits, 008, are divisible by 8 18, and 18 is divisible by 9
Numbers are divisible by 10 Numbers are divisible by
if... 11 if...
When you apply the alternating sum rule to the
Its last digit is 0. For example, 89540 and 3456780
number, the sum will be divisible by 11 (0
are divisible by 10
included). For example, the number 341 is
divisible by 11 because +3-4+1 = 0.
