1:Divisibility Rules of
2, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10.
Overview
Today’s lesson you will learn about the divisibility rules of 2, 3,5,6,9 and 10.
A clear understanding of the concepts will help you divide large number quickly and
also learn if a certain number is divisible 2, 3,5,6,9 and 10 by just looking at the digits
of a number or just doing simple calculations.
Let’s start with an activity about division and even/odd numbers of the following
questions. This will help you later in the lesson about divisibility rules of 2, 3,5,6,9 and 10.
Answer the following questions. Write your answer on the blank.
1. Give example of odd numbers._____________________________________
2. Give example of even numbers. ____________________________________
3. What is division? _______________________________________________
Information Sheet
Divisibility rule is being able to be divided equally by a certain number. Think of sharing
a bunch of candies that you have with your friends. If you have 3 friends and 3 candies, then you
can give each friend 1 candy. Everyone gets an equal share. In math, we call this divisibility by
3. If you can't give your friends an equal share, then we say we don't have divisibility by 3. To
strengthen your knowledge about this topic, read the information below.
What is divisibility rule?
Divisibility rules are a set of general rules that are often used to determine whether or not
a number is evenly divisible by another number.
Divisibility rules for 2, 5 and 10:
2 – If the ones digit of the number is 0,2,4,6,8.
Example: 108 is divisible by 2 because 108 ends in 8.
5 – if the ones digit of the number is either 0 or 5.
Example: 430is divisible by 5 because 430 ends in 0.
Example: 135 is divisible by 5 because 135 ends in 5.
10 – if the ones digit is 0.
Example: 750 is divisible by 10 because 750 ends in 0.

Here are the examples of divisible by 2, 5, and 10:
Example 1: Is 23 275 divisible by 2, 5, and 10?
Answer: It ends in 5 so it is divisible by 5. It is not divisible by 2 since its last digit is not
0,2,4,6 and 8 and it is also not divisible by 10 since its last digit is not zero.
Now that you already understand the divisibility rules of 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10,
