Is 671 divisible by 11?
• The number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of
the digits in the odd places and the sum of those the even
places is 0 or divisible by 11.
• Solution
(the alternate digits of 671 are 6 and 1 whose sum is 6 + 1 = 7
the remaining digit is 7. The difference of two is 7 – 7 = 0 which
is divisible by 11.
So the original number 671 is divisible by 11. That is 671 ÷ 11 = 61
DIVISIBILITY RULE FOR 11
• A number is divisible by 11 if…
• the difference of the sum of the digits in the odd places and the sum of those in the even places is
0 or divisible by 11
• Examples
•
24145
4+ 4= 8 2+1+5=8, 8-8=0
• 50248
8+ 2+ 5= 15 0+4+=, 15-4=11
Is 671 divisible by 11?
• If a number is divisible by 11, you have to first check if it
is divisible by 3 and 4.
(the alternate digits of 671 are 6 and 1 whose sum is 6 + 1 = 7
the remaining digit is 7. The difference of two is 7 – 7 = 0 which
is divisible by 11.
