Divisor Divisibility Condition Examples

This document lists various divisibility rules to determine if a number is divisible by certain integers from 1 to 20. Some examples include: a number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is even; divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3; divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4 when viewed as a two-digit number; divisible by 5 if the last digit is 0 or 5; and divisible by 7 if subtracting twice the last digit from the rest or adding 5 times the last digit to the rest results in a number divisible by 7. The document provides additional divisibility rules for other integers up to 20.

Divisor Divisibility condition Examples

No special condition. Any integer is


1 2 is divisible by 1.
divisible by 1.

2 The last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8). 1,294: 4 is even.

405 → 4 + 0 + 5 = 9 and 636 → 6 + 3 + 6 = 15 which


Sum the digits. If the result is divisible both are clearly divisible by 3.
by 3, then the original number is 16,499,205,854,376 →
divisible by 3. 1+6+4+9+9+2+0+5+8+5+4+3+7+6 sums to 69 → 6 +
9 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6, which is clearly divisible by 3.

Using the example above: 16,499,205,854,376


Subtract the quantity of the digits 2, 5
has four of the digits 1, 4 and 7;four of the digits 2, 5
and 8 in the number from the quantity
and 8; ∴ Since 4 − 4 = 0 is a multiple of 3, the number
of the digits 1, 4 and 7 in the number.
16,499,205,854,376 is divisible by 3.

Examine the last two digits. 40832: 32 is divisible by 4.

If the tens digit is even, and the ones


digit is 0, 4, or 8.
40832: 3 is odd, and the last digit is 2.
4 If the tens digit is odd, and the ones
digit is 2 or 6.

Twice the tens digit, plus the ones


40832: 2 × 3 + 2 = 8, which is divisible by 4.

5 The last digit is 0 or 5. 495: the last digit is 5.

1,458: 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 18, so it is divisible by 3 and


the last digit is even, hence the number is divisible by
6 It is divisible by 2 and by 3. 6.

Subtract 2 times the last digit from


the rest. (Works because 21 is 483: 48 − (3 × 2) = 42 = 7 × 6.
divisible by 7.)

Or, add 5 times the last digit to the


rest. (Works because 49 is divisible 483: 48 + (3 × 5) = 63 = 7 × 9.
by 7.)

Or, add 3 times the first digit to the


next. (This works because 10a + b −
483: 4×3 + 8 = 20 remainder 6, 6×3 + 3 = 21.
7a = 3a + b − last number has the
same remainder)

Multiply each digit (from right to left)

Add four times the hundreds digit to
34152: 4 × 1 + 5 × 2 + 2 = 16
twice the tens digit to the ones digit.

Sum the digits. If the result is divisible


9 by 9, then the original number is 2,880: 2 + 8 + 8 + 0 = 18: 1 + 8 = 9.
divisible by 9.
