Divisibility Rules for Numbers 1 to 10


Rule for 1
Rule: Every number is divisible by 1.
Example: 7 ÷ 1 = 7.

Rule for 2
Rule: A number is divisible by 2 if it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Example: 34; (ends in 4) is divisible by 2.

Rule for 3
Rule: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Example: 123; (1 + 2 + 3 = 6, and 6 is divisible by 3).

Rule for 4
Rule: A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number that is divisible by 4.
Example: 132; (32 is divisible by 4).

Rule for 5
Rule: A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5.
Example: 85 (ends in 5) is divisible by 5.

Rule for 6
Rule: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Example: 54; (divisible by 2 because it ends in 4, and by 3 because 5 + 4 = 9, which is

number, and the result is divisible by 7.
Example: 343; (2 × 3) = 34 - 6 = 28, and 28 is divisible by 7).

Rule for 8
Rule: A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits form a number that is divisible by 8.
Example: 1,000 (000 is divisible by 8).

Rule for 9
Rule: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
Example: 729; (7 + 2 + 9 = 18, and 18 is divisible by 9).

Rule: A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.
Example: 230; (ends in 0) is divisible by 10.
