DISIVILITY

RULES

A divisibility rule is a shorthand and useful way

of determining whether a given integer is
divisible by a fixed divisor without performing
the division, usually by examining its digits.
2 ONE'S PLACE IS EVEN NUMBER

SUM OF THE GIVEN NUMBER. CHECK IF THE

3 SUM IS DIVISIBLE BY 3

If the last two digits of a number are

4 divisible by 4, the number is divisible by 4.

If the last number is either 0 or 5, the entire

5 number is divisible by 5.

6 Numbers which are divisible by both 2 and 3

are divisible by 6

the difference between twice the unit digit

7 of the given number and the remaining part
of the given number should be a multiple of
7 or it should be equal to 0
 If the last three digits of a number are
8 divisible by 8, then the number is completely
divisible by 8.

If the sum of digits of the number is

9 divisible by 9, then the number itself is
divisible by 9.

Any number whose last digit is 0, is divisible

10 by 10.

if the difference between the sum of digits

11 at odd places and even places of the number
is 0 or divisible by 11.
EXAMPLE
Johnny, Johnny.
Yes, Papa?
Eating sugar?
No, Papa.
Telling lies?
No, Papa.
Open your mouth.
Ha-ha-ha!

Kids you should always tell the truth never lie to anybody
especially to your love ones! Always Remember HONESTY IS THE
BEST POLICY

Let's tell the truth!

Write YES if the number is divisible by
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. if not write NO and give
reason.

ANSWER KEY!

2 Yes 3 Yes

4 Yes 5 Yes

6 Yes 7 No
8 No 9 No

10 Yes 11 No
 Yes, the last digit is an even
2 number,
0 is include.
3 Yes, the sum of number is
divisible by 3. 7+8+2+3+4+0 =
24/3 = 8
4 yes, the last 2 digits is divisible by
4
5 yes, the last digit is 0 it is
5 divisible by 5
yes, divisible both 2 and 3 and it is
6 divisible by 6.

No, is not divisible by 7

7 782,34 ----0 0x2 = 0
78234-0= 78234
7823----4x2=8
7823-8
7813----6x2=12
7816-12
789----9x2=18
78-18= 8
8
8 not divisible by 8
9 not divisible by 9 the sum is
9 24/9=42.5
 Yes, divisible by 10 because the last
10
digit is 0

NO, is not divisible by 11
