Divisibility Rules:
Divisible by: 2 - If the last digit is even, the number is divisible by 2. 3 - If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is also. 4 - If the last two digits form a number divisible by 4, the number is also. 5 - If the last digit is a 5 or a 0, the number is divisible by 5. 6 - If the number is divisible by both 3 and 2, the number is also divisible by 6. 7 - Take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the number; if the answer is divisible by 7 (including 0), then the number is also. 8 - If the last three digits form a number divisible by 8, then so is the whole number. 9 - If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, the number is also. 10 - If the number ends in 0, it is divisible by 10.
