 1. A number is divisible by 2, if its unit’s place digit is 0, 2, 4, or 82. A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 33. A number is divisible by 4, if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 44. A number is divisible by 8, if the number formed by its last three digits is divisible by 85. A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 96. A number is divisible by 11, if, starting from the RHS,(Sum of its digits at the odd place) – (Sum of its digits at even place) is equal to 0 or 11x7. (a + b)

Percentage 
32. To express x% as a fraction, we have x% = x / 10033. To express a / b as a percent, we have a / b = (a / b × 100) %34. If ‘A’ is R% more than ‘B’, then ‘B’ is
less

reduction 
in consumption, notto increase the expenditure is{100R / [100 + R] } %35. If ‘A’ is R% less than ‘B’, then ‘B’ is
