    Divisibility Rules

    Uploaded by

    The document outlines divisibility rules for integers 1 through 11. It explains that a number is divisible by another number if the second number can evenly divide into the first number without a remainder. Specific rules are then given for each number, such as a number being divisible by 2 if it is even, divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3, and divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of its even and odd digits is divisible by 11. Exercises are provided to have the reader practice applying the divisibility rules.

    DIVISIBILITY RULES

    f An integer, N, is a multiple of b if b can be evenly divided into N.

    f If N is a multiple of b, then N is divisible by b.

    f If N is a multiple of b, then b is a factor of N: N = b · a

    Divisibility Rule for 1: 1 is a factor of every number, and every number is a factor of itself.

    Divisibility Rule for 2: 2 is a factor of every even number.

    Divisibility Rule for 3: If the sum of the individual digits of a number is a multiple of 3, then N is also
    a multiple of 3

    Divisibility Rule for 4: If the last two digits of a number are a multiple of 4, then the entire number is
    a multiple of 4. (This rule is used for numbers that have at least three digits.)

    Divisibility Rule for 5: 5 is a factor of every number that ends in either 5 or 0; in other words, the
    ones digit is either 0 or 5.

    Divisibility Rule for 6: If a number is a multiple of both 2 and 3, then it is also a multiple of 6.

    Divisibility Rule for 7: If a number, N, is a multiple of 7, then another multiple of 7 can be found by

    (i) subtracting the ones digit from N,


    (ii) dividing the result by 10, and
    (iii) subtracting, from that result, twice the original ones digit.
    Divisibility Rule for 8: If the last three digits of a number is a multiple of 8, then the entire number is
    a multiple of 8. (This rule is used for numbers that have at least four digits.)

    Divisibility Rule for 9: If the sum of the individual digits is a multiple of 9, then the original number is
    also a multiple of 9 (and 9 is a factor of that original number).

    Divisibility Rule for 10: 10 is a factor of every number that ends in 0. 10 is a factor of every number
    that has both 2 and 5 as factors.

    Divisibility Rule for 11: In a number, N, if the difference of the sum of the even place digits and the
    sum of the odd place digits is 0 or a multiple of 11, then N is a multiple of 11.

    Exercises

    1. Organize each set of digits into a whole number that is a multiple of 11.

    a) 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 b) 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 8 c) 1, 3, 8, 9, 9

    2. Based on the divisibility rules, above, determine which of the numbers 2 through 11 are factors of
    the following.

    a) 462 b) 8,712 c) 2,310
