Rule

The document outlines 9 rules for determining the divisibility of numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Each rule specifies a property of a number's digits that determines its divisibility by that number. For example, a number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even, divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3, and divisible by 10 if its last digit is 0. Examples are given to illustrate each rule.

Rule #1: divisibility by 2 A number is divisible by 2 if it's last digit is 0,2,4,6,or 8.

For instance, 8596742 is divisible by 2 because the las t digit is 2. 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 #4: divisibility by 5 A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 ot 5. For instance, 9564655 is divisible by 5 because the last digit is 5. 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 ckeck 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 #8: divisibility by 9 A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. For instance, 3141 is divisible by 9 because the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. 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. Use the following calculator to determine if a number is divisible by another and strengthen your knowledge of divisibility rules
