 Divisible
When one number can be divided by another and the result is an
exact whole number.

five
Example: 15 is divisible by 3
because 15 ÷ 3 = 5 exactly

three BUT 9 is not divisible by 2

because 9 ÷ 2 is 4 with one left
over.
 Divisibility
A number is divisible by another number when the remainder
is 0.

There are rules to tell if a number is divisible by certain other

numbers.
 Divisibility Rules

Look at the last digit in the Ones Place!

2 Last digit is even-0,2,4,6,8

5 Last digit is 5 OR 0
10 Last digit is 0

Check the Sum!

3 Sum of digits is divisible by 3
6 Number is divisible by 3 AND 2
9 Sum of digits is divisible by 9

Look at Last Digits

4 Last 2 digits form a number divisible by 4
Let's Practice!
Is 34 divisible by 2?
Yes, because the digit in the ones place is an even
number. Therefore, 34 / 2 = 17
x
Is 1,075 divisible by 5?
Yes because the digit in the ones place is a 5.
Therefore, 1,075 / 5 = 215

Is 740 divisible by 10?

Yes, because the digit in the ones place is a 0.
Therefore, 740 / 10 = 74
Is 258 divisible by 3?
Yes, because the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
2 + 5 + 8 = 15 Look 15 / 3 = 5
x
Therefore, 258 / 3 = 86

Is 193 divisible by 6?
Yes, because the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 AND 2.
1 + 9 + 2 = 12 Look 12 /3 = 4
Therefore, 192 / 6 = 32
Is 6,237 divisible by 9?
Yes, because the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
6 + 2 + 3 + 7 = 18 Look 18 / 9 = 2 x
Therefore, 6,237 /9=693

Is 520 divisible by 4?
Yes, because the number made by the last two digits
is divisible by 4.
20 / 4 = 5
Therefore, 520 / 4 = 130
1 Is 198 divisible by 2?

Yes

 Powers of 10

Numbers like 10, 100 and 1,000 are called powers of 10.

They are numbers that can be written as products of tens.

2
100 can be written as 10 x 10 or 10 .
3
1,000 can be written as 10 x 10 x 10 or 10 .
 3
10
The raised digit is called the exponent. The exponent tells
how many tens are multiplied.
 3
A number written with an exponent, like 10 , is in exponential
notation.

A number written in a more familiar way, like 1,000 is in

standard notation.

Add on as many 0s as appear in the power of 10.

Examples: 28 x 10 = 280 Add on one 0

28 x 100 = 2,800 Add on two 0s

28 x 1,000 = 28,000 Add on three 0s

student in the class work?
 23)253
Step 1 Compare the divisor to the dividend to
decide where to place the first digit in the
quotient. Divide the tens.
Think: What number multiplies by 23 is less
than or equal to 25.
Step 2 Multiply the number of tens in the quotient
times the divisor.
Subtract the product from the dividend.
Bring down the next number in the dividend.
Step 3 Divide the result by 23.
Write the number in the ones place of the
quotient.
Think: What number multiplied by 23 is less
than or equal to 23?
Step 4 Multiply the number in the ones place of the
quotient by the divisor.
Subtract the product from 23.
If the difference is zero, there is no remainder.

Each student will work 11 shifts at the school store.

Interpreting the Remainder

In word problems, we need to interpret the what the remainder

means.

would have 6 books that would
not fit in the 10 boxes. She
would need 11 boxes to fit all

zeros when you have a remainder.

Example:

To divide a number by a decimal:

• Change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a

power of 10

• Multiply the dividend by the same power of 10

• Divide

• Bring the decimal point up in the answer
