Rules For Divisibility

The document provides rules for determining if a number is divisible by certain integers from 1 to 12 without performing the division. It explains that a number is divisible by: 1. 2 if it is even 2. 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 3. 4 if the last two digits are a multiple of 4 It then provides additional rules for determining if a number is divisible by other integers up to 12, such as if it ends in 5 or 0, is divisible by both 2 and 3, using a digit doubling technique to test divisibility by 7, and more.

Rules / Shortcuts for Divisibility

# 1 2 3 Rule All numbers If the number is even If the digits of the number add up to a number that is divisible by three If the last two digits of the number are a multiple of 4 Example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 346, 788, 144, 142, . 312: 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 6 is divisible by 3 therefore 312 is divisible by 3 40 16 is divisible by 4 therefore 4016 is divisible by 4 98 AND 31 985 ends in 5 and 310 ends in 0 therefore they are both divisible by 5 2454 The number is even so it is divisible by 2 2 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 15 and 15 is divisible by 3 The number is divisible by both 2 and 3, therefore it is also divisible by 6 16 12=2 16 2 = 14 14 is divisible by 7, therefore 161 is divisible by 7 163 8 2 = 16 163 16 = 14 7 2 = 14 14 14 = 0 *If you get 0 then the number is divisible by 7 45, 080 is divisible by 8 therefore 45,080 is divisible by 8 339,192: 3 + 3 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 2 = 27 27is divisible by 9 therefore 339,192 is divisible by 9 1,938,46 The number ends in a 0 therefore the number is divisible by 10 92121183 9 2 + 1 2 + 1 1 + 8 3 = 11 11 is divisible by 11, therefore 92121183 is divisible by 11 180 1 + 8 + 0 = 9, 9 is divisible by 3, therefore, 180 is divisible by 3 80 is divisible by 4, therefore 180 is divisible by 4 The number is divisible by BOTH 3 and 4, therefore it is divisible by 12

If the number ends in a 5 or 0

If the number is divisible by BOTH 2 and 3

Take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the number; if the answer is divisible by 7 (including 0) you can continue to do this to the number until it is easily recognized as a multiple

If the last three digits of the number is a multiple of 8 If the digits of the number add up to a number that is divisible by nine

10

If the number ends in a 0

11

Alternately subtract and add the digits from left to right. If the answer is a multiple of 11

12

If the number is divisible by BOTH 3 and 4
