Introductory Message
This Self Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions,
directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand
each lesson.

Each SLMS is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-
by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each

SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of

Divisibility Rules for 4, 8, 11, and
1 12 to Find Common Factors

A divisibility rule is a simple way of determining whether a given number is

divisible by another number. It can be used to quickly find the factors of given
numbers. “Divisible by another number” means a number can be divided by another
number without any remainder.

What’s In

In the previous modules, you have learned the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 6, 9
and 10. Recall what you have learned by doing the exercise below.

Directions: See if the numbers in the first column are divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 or 10.
Mark (X) on the corresponding columns. Copy the table with your
answers on a separate sheet of paper.

What Is It

Divisibility Rules for 4, 8, 11, and 12

Here are examples of numbers that are divisible by 4, 8, 11 and 12.

CO_Q1_Math5_Module3
How do we know if a number is divisible by 4, 8, 11 or 12?

• Divisibility Rules for 4

A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is
divisible by 4. If its last two digits are both zeros, then it is also divisible by 4.

• Divisibility Rules for 8

A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by its last three digits is
divisible by 8. If the number ends in three zeros, then it is also divisible by 8.

• Divisibility Rules for 11

A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the odd-positioned
digits (starting from the left) and the sum of the even-positioned digits
(starting from the left) is zero or if it is a multiple of eleven.

• Divisibility Rules for 12

A number is divisible by 12 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3, and the
number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4.

Study the discussions and samples below:

From the table above, let us find out if 264 is divisible by 4, 8, 11 or 12.

Divisible by 4;
The number formed by the last two digits of 264 is 64.
64 is divisible by 4, because 64 ÷ 4 = 16.
Therefore, 264 is divisible by 4.

Divisible by 8;
264 has exactly three digits.
264 ÷ 8 = 33, which is a whole number.
Therefore, 264 is divisible by 8.

Divisible by 11;
264 The underlined digits are odd-positioned.
Add the odd-positioned digits: 2 + 4 = 6
264 The underlined digit is even-positioned.
Subtract the sum of odd-positioned digits from the even-
positioned digits: 6 – 6 = 0

The difference is 0. Therefore, 264 is divisible by 11.

Divisible by 12;
264 is divisible by 4, because the number formed by its last two digits
can be divided by 4.
The sum of the digits of 264 is 2 + 6 + 4 = 12, which is divisible by 3.
Therefore, 264 is divisible by 12.

This means that 264 is divisible by 4, 8, 11 and 12.

Finding the common factors of the given numbers.

1. Find the common factors of 264 and 372 using the divisibility rules.

Factors of 264 Factors of 372

264 ÷ 1 = 264 372 ÷ 1 = 372
264 ÷ 2 = 132 372 ÷ 2 = 186
264 ÷ 3 = 88 372 ÷ 3 = 124
264 ÷ 4 = 66 372 ÷ 4 = 93
264 ÷ 6 = 44 372 ÷ 6 = 62
264 ÷ 8 = 33 372 ÷ 12 = 31
264 ÷ 11 = 24
264 ÷ 12 = 22

The factors of

264: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44,66, 88, 132 and 264.

372:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186 and 372.

Therefore, the common factors of 264 and 372 are: 1, 2, 3,4, 6, 12.

2. Find the common factors of 528 and 792

Factors of 528
Factors of 792
528 ÷ 1 = 528
792 ÷ 1 = 792
528 ÷ 2 = 264
792 ÷ 2 = 396
528 ÷ 3 = 176
792 ÷ 3 = 264
528 ÷ 4 = 132
792 ÷ 4 = 198
528 ÷ 6 = 88
792 ÷ 6 = 132
528 ÷ 8 = 66
792 ÷ 8 = 99
528 ÷ 11 = 48
792 ÷ 11 = 72
528 ÷ 12 = 44
792 ÷ 12 = 66
528 ÷ 16 =33
792 ÷ 18 = 44
528 ÷ 22 = 24
792 ÷ 22 = 36
792 ÷ 24 = 33

Thus, the factors of:

528: 1, 2, 3,4,6,8,11,12,16, 22, 24, 33,44, 48,66,88, 132,176, 264, and 528
792: 1,2, 3,4,6,8,11,12,18, 22, 24,33, 36, 44, 66, 72, 99 132, 198, 264,396
and 792

Therefore, the common factors of 528 and 792 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,11,12,

22,24,33,44,66, 132, and 264.
