Divisibility Rules

The document outlines divisibility rules for numbers 2 through 12. It states that a number is divisible by a given number if it meets the specific criteria for that number, such as being divisible by 2 if the ones digit is even, by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, and by 4 if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4. Examples are provided to illustrate each divisibility rule.

Divisibility Rules

A number is divisible by:

2 if and only if its one’s digit is divisible by 2 (i.e. the ones digit is either 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8)
Ex: 92,659,354,236 is divisible by 2 since the ones digit is a 6

3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3


Ex: 954 is divisible by 3 since 9 + 5 + 4 = 18 is divisible by 3

4 if and only if the last 2 digits taken as a number itself is divisible by 4 Ex: 5632 is
divisible by 4 since 32 is divisible by 4

5 if and only if the ones digit is either 0 or 5

6 if and only if it is divisible by both 2 and 3


Ex: 954 is divisible by 6 since it is divisible by both 2 (the ones digit is a 4) and 3 (see
above)

7 if and only if the difference between 2 times the ones digit and the number formed by
its remaining digits is divisible by 7
Ex: 133 is divisible by 7 since 2 x 3 = 6 and 13 – 6 = 7 is divisible by 7
441 is divisible by 7 since 2 x 1 = 2 and 44 – 2 = 42 is divisible by 7

8 if and only if the last 3 digits taken as a number itself is divisible by 8 Ex: 34,848 is
divisible by 8 since 848 is divisible by 8

9 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9


Ex: 954 is divisible by 9 since 9 + 5 + 4 = 18 is divisible by 9

10 if and only if the ones digit is 0

11 if and only if the sum of the digits in the odd places (ones, hundreds, ten-thousands,
millions, etc.) minus the sum of the digits in the even places (tens, thousands,
hundredthousands, ten-millions, etc.) is divisible by 11
Ex: 363 is divisible by 11 since (3 + 3) – 6 = 0 is divisible by 11
737 is divisible by 11 since (7 + 7) – 3 = 11 is divisible by 11

12 if and only if it is divisible by both 3 and 4


Ex: 156 is divisible by 12 since it is divisible by 3 (1 + 5 + 6 = 12 is divisible by 3)
and it is divisible by 4 (56 is divisible by 4)
