Introduction
• Definition:

A divisibility rule is a shorthand and useful way of


determining whether a given integer is divisible by a fixed
divisor (leaves remainder 0) without performing the
division, usually by examining its digits.

• Purpose:
o To understand the basic divisibility rules in mathematics and
how they help simplify complex problems.

o It enhances number sense and help students recognize


patterns n numbers.
Divisibility rules

 Divisibility by 2

• Statement: A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is


even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or ….).

• Example: 134 is divisible by 2 because the last digit is 4 (an


even number).

• Check: 134  2 = 67 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 2?

1324, 69978, 4057, 1286, 3802, 1044


Divisibility rules
 Divisibility by 3

• Statement: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its


digit is divisible by 3.

• Example: 123 is divisible by 3 because 1+2+3 = 6, and 6


is divisible by 3.

• Check: 123  3 = 41 ( no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 3?


378, 9836, 3033, 4623, 474, 7387
Divisibility rules
 Divisibility by 4

• Statement: A number is divisible by 4 if the last two


digits form a number that is divisible
by 4.

• Example: 316 is divisible by 4 because the last two


digit, 16 are divisible by 4.

• Check: 316  4 = 79 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 4?

Divisibility rule
 Divisibility by 5

• Statement: A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit


is 0 or 5.

• Example: 220 is divisible by 5 because the last digit


is 0.

• Check: 220  5 = 44 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 5?

34567, 892340, 7465, 30051, 46750,


76545
Divisibility rules
 Divisibility by 6

• Statement: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible


by both 2 (last digit is even) and 3 (sum is
divisible by 3).

• Example: 132 is divisible by 6 because it is divisible


by both 2 (last digit is even) and 3 (1+3+2= 6).

• Check: 132  6 = 22 (n remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 6?

52735, 883, 8610, 8668, 8982, 59914


Divisibility rules
 Divisibility by 7

• Statement: A number is divisible by 7 if the difference


between twice the unit digit of the
given number and the remaining part of the given
number should be a multiple of 7 or
it should be equal to 0.

• Example: 133 is divisible by 7 because the difference


between twice of the last digit, 3 x 2 = 6 and
the remaining part 13, is 13 – 6 = 7 (which is a
multiple of 7).

• Check: 133  7 = 79 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 7?


243, 308, 847, 5929, 3852, 458409
Divisibility rules

 Divisibility by 8

• Statement: A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits


form a number that is divisible by 8

• Example: 1024 is divisible by 8 because the last three digits,


024, form 24, which is divisible by 8.

• Check: 1024  8 = 128 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 8?

512, 24344, 74513, 880, 67108, 905256


Divisibility rules
 Divisibility by 9

• Statement: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its


digit is divisible by 9.

• Example: 729 is divisible by 9 because 7+2+9 = 18, and


18 is divisible by 9.

• Check: 729  9 = 81 ( no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 9?


117, 115, 495, 18799, 66666, 725265
Divisibility rule
 Divisibility by 10

• Statement: A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit


is 0.

• Example: 540 is divisible by 10 because the last digit


is 0.

• Check: 540  10 = 54 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 10?

Divisibility rules
 Divisibility by 11

• Statement: A number is divisible by 11 if the difference


between the sum of the digits in odd
positions and even positions is 0 or a
multiple of 11.

• Example: 1331 is divisible by 11 because the difference


between the sum of the digits in odd
positions i.e., 1+3 =4 and in even positions i.e., 3 + 1 = 4 is 0

(4 - 4 = 0).

• Check: 121  11 = 11 (no remainder left)

• Try yourself: Are these numbers divisible by 11?

Divisibility rules
Divisibility by Prime No.’s
Method : Take any Prime No(that isn’t 2) and do this:
• if It end in 1, multiply it by 9
• if it ends in 3, multiply it by3
• if it ends in 7, multiply it by 7
• if it ends in 9, keep it as it is.

You should now have a number that ends in 9. Now


excludes the last digit and look at the rest of the digits, add 1 to
that, let this equal to K.
Now think of any No.,take the last digit out and multiply
it by K, and add it to the remaining digits, if that adds upto a
multiple of that prime number, then it is divisible by that prime
number.
Divisibility rules
Examples:
1. Check whether 1978 is divisible by 23 or not
• 23 ends in 3,so we multiply by 3
• 23x3=69
• Tke out 9 out of 69 and add 1 to 6i.e.
• 6+1=7 ;(7 is your k)
• In 1978,take out 8 and multiply 8 by 7
• 8x7=56
• Add 56 to remaining number 197 we get 253.
• Now still it is difficult to tell that 253 is divisible
by 23 or not.So we repeat the same process
until we get a smaaler number.
• 25+3x7=46
• Now 46 is multiple of 23.hence given number is
divisible by 23.
