Divisibility Rules

This document outlines divisibility rules for numbers 2-11. It explains that: 1) A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even or 0. 2) A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. 3) A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4 or it has two or more zeros at the end. It also provides examples for each divisibility rule.

Divisibility by 2

 Any number, the last digit of which is either even


or 0 is divisible by 2.
Divisibility by 3
 If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by
3, the number also divisible by 3.
Exa. 426 : 4+2+6 = 12 which is divisible by 3.
Hence, 426 is divisible by 3.
 Divisibility rule of 3 comes from the fact that the
multiples of 3 are numbers, the sum of whose
digits is divisible by 3.
3*6 = 18; 1+ 8 = 9 is divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 4
 If the last two digits of a number is divisible by 4,
the number is divisible by 4. The number having
two or more zeros at the end is also divisible by 4.
Exa. , 324, 5632, 3500, 4320, 89412 are divisible by 4 as
they satisfy the above mentioned conditions.
Divisibility by 5
If a number ends with 5 or 0, the number is divisible by
5.
Exa. 1345
As its last digit is 5, it is divisible by 5.
Divisibility by 6
A number is divisible by 6, when it is divisible by 2 as
well as 3. This rule emanates from the fact that 2 and 3
are the two factors or submultiples of 6. Hence, both
the conditions i,e., for divisibility by 2 as well as for
divisibility by 3 must be satisfied simultaneously.
Alternate method for a number to be divisible by 6.
(1) The number should end with an even digit or 0.
(2) The sum of its digits should be divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 7
7 has 2 as negative osculator (7*3 = 21 = 20+1)
Exa., is 112 divisible by 7??
Using step 1 11 2 : 11-2*2 =7
As 7 is divisible by 7, the number 112 is also
divisible by 7.
Exa., is 2961 divisible by 7??
Using step 1 296 1: 296 – 1*2 = 294
Using step 2 29 4 : 29 – 4 *2 = 21
As 21 is divisible by 7, the number 2961 is
also divisible by 7.
Divisibility by 8
If the last three digits of a number is divisible by 8, the
number also divisible by 8. Also, if the last three digits
of a number is zeros, the number is divisible by 8.
Exa, 3648
Since, 648 is divisible by 8, 3648 is divisible by 8.
Divisibility by 9
If the sum of all the digits, if a number is divisible by9,
the number is also divisible by 9.
Exa. 39681 : 3+9+6+8+1 = 27 is divisible by 9,
Hence the number is also divisible by 9.
Divisibility by 10
Any number which ends with zero or more than zero is
divisible by 10.
Exa, the numbers 130. 5200, 10000, 12340, 5550 etc.
are divisible by 10.
Divisibility by 11
If the sums of digits at odd and even places are equal
or differ by a number divisible by 11. Then the number
is also divisible by 11.
Exa. 3245682 : odd place value = 3 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15
And even place value = 2 + 5 + 8 = 15
Aa, odd place value = even place value, the number is
divisible by 11.
Important Facts
 If the number is made by writing digit 6
times, then the number is divisible by 7, 11,
13.
Exa, 888888 is divisible by 7,11,13.
 If a number is made by writing a 2 digit
number 3 times, the number us divisible by 7
and 13.
Exa, 939393 is divisible by 7 and 13 .
 If a number is made by repeating a 3 digit
number 2 times, then the number is divisible
by 7,11 ,13 .
Exa. 973973 is divisible by 7,11,13 .
