Essential Divisibility Rules Explained

This document outlines divisibility rules for numbers 2 through 13. It provides tests to determine if a number is divisible by each factor based on the digits in the number, such as a number being divisible by 2 if its units digit is even. It also lists important points about divisibility, such as a number being divisible by a number's factors, and the sum or difference of two divisible numbers also being divisible.

DIVISIBILITY RULES

• Divisibility by 2: The number should have 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 as the units digit.


• Divisibility by 3: The sum of digits of the number must be divisible by 3.
• Divisibility by 4: The number formed by the tens and units digit of the number
must be divisible by 4.
• Divisibility by 5: The number should have 0 or 5 as the units digit.
• Divisibility by 6: The number should be divisible by both 2 and 3.
• Divisibility by 7: The absolute difference between twice the units digit and the
number formed by the rest of the digits must be divisible by 7 (this process
can be repeated for many times until we arrive at a sufficiently small number).
• Divisibility by 8: The number formed by the hundreds, tens and units digit of the
number must be divisible by 8.
• Divisibility by 9: The sum of digits of the number must be divisible by 9.
• Divisibility by 10: The number should have 00 as the units digit.
• Divisibility by 11: The absolute difference between the sum of alternate pairs of
digits must be divisible by 11.
• Divisibility by 12: The number should be divisible by both 3 and 4.
• Divisibility by 13: The sum of four times the units digits with the number formed
by the rest of the digits must be divisible by 13 (this process can be repeated
for many times until we arrive at a sufficiently small number).

• Divisibility Rules – Important Points to Remember


• i) If a number is divisible by another number, then it is divisible by each of the
factors of that number.
• ii) If a number is divisible by two co-prime numbers, then it is divisible by their
product also.
• iii) If two given numbers are divisible by a number, then their sum is also
divisible by that number.
• iv) If two given numbers are divisible by a number, then their difference is also
divisible by that number.
