QUARTER 1 Module No. 1 Topic: Divisibility Rules for 3, 6 and 9

Lesson: Using Divisibility Rules for 3, 6 and 9 to Find the Common Factors
of Numbers
Objective/s:
1. Use divisibility rules for 3, 6 and 9 to find the common factors of number

In this lesson, you will learn divisibility rules of 3, 6 and 9 to

find the common factors.

Divisible- a number which, when divided, has a whole

number quotient and the remainder is zero

Common Factor - a number that is a factor of two different

numbers

3. Let’s Study

Problem Opener:

During quarantine period, Aprille decorated her room by hanging 24

photographs on her wall. She put the same number of photographs in each row. How
many rows did she created?

She arranged the same number of photographs into

3 rows of 8 6 rows of 4

24 ÷ 3 = 8 24 ÷ 6 = 4
It means that 24 can be divided by 3 and can be divided by 6 with no
leftover. How can we know a number can be divided by a certain number with an
exact answer or no remainder. Divisibility rule will help us. Let’s study the divisibility
rule of 3, 6, and 9.

MELC Q 1 Week No. 1 Competency Code: M5NS-lb-58.2

Competency: Uses divisibility rules for 3, 6 and 9 to find the common factors of numbers.
 Using Divisibility Rules of 3, 6, and 9 to find the Common
Factors of Numbers

Find the common factor of 30 and 48 using divisibility rule of 3,6

Step 1: Use divisibility rule to find the factor of 30

30 is divisible by 3 because the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 3 x 10 = 30
30 is divisible by 6 because the number is both divisible by 2 & 3 6 x 5 = 30
Factors of 30 are 3,5,6,10

Step 2: Use divisibility rule to find the factor of 48

48 is divisible by 3 because the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 3 x 16 = 48
48 is divisible by 6 because the number is both divisible by 2 & 3 6 x 8 = 48
Factors of 48 are 3,6,8,16

Step 3: Common Factors of 30 and 48 are 3, 6

Factors of 30 are 3,5,6,10
Factors of 48 are 3, 6,8,16

Remember:

1. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all the digits is divisible by 3.

2. If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it is divisible by 6

3. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of all the digits is divisible or

multiple of 9.

4. Knowing the divisibility rules of 3, 6 and 9 will help you to find the
factors and common factors of a pair of number just examining its
digits.

How can we preserve natural resources?

Simple things you can do to help protect the earth reduce, reuse and
recycle. Cut down on what you throw away, volunteer for cleanups in our
community then plant a tree.
