4, 8, 12,
and 11
Lesson 3
If the last two digits formed a
number that is divisible by 4, then the
by 4 16 ÷ 4 = 4
A number ending with two zeros is
always divisible by 4.
Ex.: 1 200
Hence, 1 200 is divisible by 4.

1 224
24 ÷ 4 =166
If the last two digits formed a
number that is divisible by 4,
then the original number is
600 divisible by 4.
A number ending with two zeros
is always divisible by 4.
If the number formed by the last
three digits is divisible by 8, then the
original number is divisible by 8.
Divisible Ex.: 1 248
by 8 248 ÷ 8 = 31
A number ending with three zeros is
always divisible by 8.
Ex.: 12 000
Hence, 12 000 is divisible by 8.
Divisible by 8
4 376
47
376 ÷ 8 = 16
If the number formed by the
last three digits is divisible by
8, then the original number is
5 000 divisible by 8.
A number ending with three
zeros is always divisible by 8.
A number is divisible by 12 if the
number formed by the last two digits
by 12 Ex.: 732
32 ÷ 4 = 8
732 →
7 + 3 + 2 = 12
Hence, 732 is divisible by 12.
Divisible by 12
1 224
24 ÷ 4 = 166
A number is divisible by 12 if
the number formed by the last
15 - 4 = 311
9 the digits in the odd places and
the sum of those in the even
places is 0 or divisible by 11.
11 ÷ 11 = 319
