Test for Divisibility

Rules for divisibility


• 2, 3and 5 are all factors of 30.
• You say that ‘30 is divisible by 2 because 30-2 does not
have a remainder.
• 30 is divisible by 3 and 30 is divisible by 5.
• 30 is not divisible by 4 because 30+4=7 with
remainder 2 (which can be written as 7 r 2).
• 87654 is a large number. Is 87654 divisible by 2? By 3
By 4? By 5?
Divisibility test for 2
• A number is divisible by 2 when the last digit is 0, 2, 4,
6 or 8.
• Example:
• 87654 is divisible by 2 because the last digit is 4.
Divisibility test for 3
• A number is divisible by 3 when the sum of the digits
is a multiple of 3.

• 87654 is divisible by 3 if;


• 8+7+6+5+4=30
• And 30= 10 x 3,so 87654 is divisible by 3
Divisibility test for 4
• A number is divisible by 4 when the number formed
by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
• The last two digits of 87654 are 54 and 54 ÷ 4= 13 r 2.
• So 87654 is not divisible by 4.
Divisibility test for 5
• A number is divisible by 5 when the last digit is 0 or
5.
• The last digit of 87654 is 4, so it is not divisible by 5.
Divisibility test for 6
• A number is divisible by 6 when it is divisible by 2 and
3.
• 87654 is divisible by 6 since it is divisible by 2 and 3
Divisibility test for 8
• A number is divisible by 8 when the number formed
by the last three digits is divisible by 8.
• 87654
• 654 ÷ 8=81 r 6, so 87654 is not divisible by 8.
Divisibility test for 9
• A number is divisible by 9 when the sum of the digits
is divisible by 9.
• 8+7+6+5+4=30 and 30 is not divisible by 9.
• So 87654 is not divisible by 9.
Divisibility test for 10
• A number is divisible by 10 when the last digit is 0.
• The last digit of 87654 is 4, so 87654 is not divisible by
10.
Divisibility test for 11
• A number is divisible by 11 when the difference
between the sum of the odd digits and the sum of the
even digits is 0 or a multiple of 11.
• The sum of the odd digits of 87654 is 4+6+8=18.
• The sum of the even digits of 87654 is 5+7=12.
• 18-12=6,so 87654 is not a multiple of 11.
Divisibility test for 7
• To test for divisibility by 7, remove the last digit, 4, to
leave 8765
• Subtract twice the last digit from 8765, that is: 8765-
2x4= 8765-8=8757
• If this number I divisible by 7,so is the original number.
• 8757 ÷ 7=1252 with no remainder and so 87654 is
divisible by 7.
