QA – Composite Numbers

For composite numbers


The divisor is taken as a product of co-prime factors and the dividend is checked for
divisibility by each of the factors. Co-prime means the numbers should not have any
common factor.
For 6: 6 =2x3. So check the divisibility for 2 and 3. If last digit of the number is divisible by
two and sum total of all the digits of the number is divisible by 3, then that number will be
divisible by 6.
For 12 If the number is divisible by 3 and 4, then the number will be divisible by 12, e.g.,
144, 348.
For 14 If the number is divisible by both 2 and 7, then the number will be divisible by 14.
For 15 A number is divisible by 15, if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3 and unit digit of
the number is 0 or 5, e.g., 225, 450, 375 etc.
For 18 Number should be divisible by both 9 and 2.
For 20 The number should be divisible by 4 and 5.
