Divisibility Rules 86

The document discusses divisibility rules for numbers being divisible by 7, 11, and 13. It provides examples of using the rule that a number is divisible by 7 if the sum of the first digit plus the last digit plus every third digit from the left is divisible by 7. Similar rules are provided for checking divisibility by 11 and 13. The document also provides practice questions on checking divisibility and finding remainders when dividing large numbers.

DIVISIBILITY

RULES
THEORY & CONCEPTS
REASON ?
REASON ?
REASON ?
A common Rule given in books but not to be used in exams.
A better rule on next slide.
A common divisibility rule of 7,11 & 13
Hint:- Rule of 1001
Let’s take an example
125370

Always start from unit digit and make group


of 3 digits
Now Ist group – IInd group
370 – 125 = 245

So 125370 is divisible by 7
Another Example
1435392

(Ist + IIIrd) – IInd


(392 + 1) – 435
393 – 435 = – 42

divisible by 7
So, 1435392 is divisible by 7
Example :
1234567887

(Ist + IIIrd) – (IInd + IVth)


(887 + 234) – (567 + 1)
1121 – 568 = 553

So 1234567887 is divisible by 7.
Examples :

divisible by 9

(A) 3 (B) 4
(C) 5 (D) 6
1. (B)
Sol. 78326 × 42
7+8+3+2+6+x+4+2
32 + x = 9 m
32 + x → 36, 45, ………
x = 4, 13, ……..
Since x is a single digit number so it has to be 4.

(A) 0 (B) 1
(C) 3 (D) 5
5. (D)
Sol.

(5 + 9 + * + 7) – (4 + 3 + 8)
(21 + *) – (15)
6 + * = 0, 11, 22
* = –6, 5, 16
