DIVISIBILITY RULES
DIVISIBILITY RULES
Rule # 2: divisibility by 3:
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its
digits is divisible by 3
For instance, 3141 is divisible by 3 because
3+1+4+1 = 9 and 9 is divisible by 3.
Rule # 3: divisibility by 4
A number is divisible by 4 if the number
represented by its last two digits is divisible
by 4.
For instance, 8920 is divisible by 4 because
20 is divisible by 4.
Rule # 5: divisibility by 6
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by
2 and 3. Be careful! it is not one or the
other. The number must be divisible by both
2 and 3 before you can conclude that it is
divisible by 6.
Rule # 6: divisibility by 7
To check divisibility rules for 7, study carefully the following two examples:
Is 348 divisible by 7?
Remove the last digit, which is 8. The number becomes 34. Then, Double 8 to get 16 and subtract 16 from 34.
34 16 = 18 and 18 is not divisible by 7. Therefore, 348 is not divisible by 7
Is 37961 divisible by 7?
Remove the last digit, which is 1. The number becomes 3796. Then, Double 1 to get 2 and subtract 2 from
3796.
3796 2 = 3794, so still too big? Thus repeat the process.
Remove the last digit, which is 4. The number becomes 379. Then, Double 4 to get 8 and subtract 8 from 379.
379 8 = 371, so still too big? Thus repeat the process.
Remove the last digit, which is 1. The number becomes 37. Then, Double 1 to get 2 and subtract 2 from 37.
37 2 = 35 and 35 is divisible by 7. Therefore, 37961 is divisible by 7.
Rule #7:divisibility by 8
A number is divisible by 8 if the number
represented by its last three digits is
divisible by 8.
For instance, 587320 is divisible by 8 because
320 is divisible by 8.
Rule # 9: divisibility by 10
A number is divisible by 10 if its last digits is 0
For instance, 522480 is divisible by 10
because the last digit is 0.
