Divisibility Rules
www.enbott.com 10
DIVISIBILITY RULES
Divisibility rules of whole numbers are very useful because they help us to quickly determine if a number can be
divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10 without doing long division. When the numbers are large, use the following divisibility
rules:
Rule #1: Divisibility by 2

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Rule # 2: Divisibility by 3
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4 if the number represented by its last two digits is divisible by 4.
www.enbott.com 11
DIVISIBILITY RULES

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3.
To check divisibility rules for 7, study carefully the following two examples:
Is 348 divisible by 7? Remove the last digit, which is 8. The number becomes 34. Then, Double 8 to get 16 and
subtract 16 from 34. 34 − 16 = 18 and 18 is not divisible by 7. Therefore, 348 is not divisible by 7

DIVISIBILITY RULES
✓ Is 37961 divisible by 7?
1. Remove the last digit, which is 1. The number becomes 3796.
2. Then, Double 1 to get 2 and subtract 2 from 3796. 3796 − 2 = 3794, so still too big? Thus repeat the process.
3. Remove the last digit, which is 4.
4. The number becomes 379. Then, Double 4 to get 8 and subtract 8 from 379. 379 − 8 = 371, so still too big?
5. Thus repeat the process.
6. Remove the last digit, which is 1.
7. The number becomes 37. Then, Double 1 to get 2 and subtract 2 from 37. 37 − 2 = 35 and 35 is divisible by 7.
Therefore, 37961 is divisible by 7.

DIVISIBILITY RULES

A number is divisible by 8 if the number represented by its last three digits is divisible by 8.
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 10 if its last digits is 0
Find the sum of the digits in the even places and the sum of the digits in the odd places.
If the differences between the two sums is 0 or a multiple of 11, then the given number would be divisible by 11
For example, 72545. Digits in odd places - 7,5,5. Sum of these digits is 17 Digits in even places - 2,4. Sum of these 2
digits is 6. Difference between both the sums = 17 - 6 = 11. Thus sum is divisible by ,Hence 72545 would be divisible
by 11.
www.enbott.com 14
DIVISIBILITY RULES

The number is divisible by 4 & 3,it is also divisible by 12
Divisibility of 13 is similar to the method 2 mentioned in divisibility of 7.
Assume a number abcdefghij.
In this method, the number is divided into blocks of 3 digits each beginning from the right, i.e. a | bcd | efg | hij and
alternate blocks are added to give two number N1 = a + efg and N2 = bcd + hij.
If the difference of the numbers N1 and N2, i.e. N1 - N2 is divisible by 13, then the number abcdefghij is divisible by
13 too.
For example, 6517739020 → 6 | 517 | 739 | 020 → N1 = 745 and N2 = 537 → N1 - N2 = 208 which is divisible by 13.

✓ Rule # 13: Divisibility by 14: The number is divisible by 7 & 2,it is also divisible by 14
✓ Rule # 14: Dividing by 15: The number is divisible by 5 & 3,it is also divisible by 15
✓ Rule # 15: Dividing by 16: If the last 4 digits are divisible by 16, so is the entire number is divisible by 16.

HCF and LCM
www.enbott.com 39
LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE
✓ The LCM is the smallest or least positive integer that is divisible by both p and q.
✓ The LCM of two numbers say p and q, is denoted as LCM (p,q).
✓ For example, let us take two positive integers 4 and 6.
✓ Multiples of 4 are: 4,8,12,16,20,24…
✓ Multiples of 6 are: 6,12,18,24….
✓ The common multiples for 4 and 6 are 12,24,36,48…and so on. The least common
multiple in that lot would be 12.
www.enbott.com 40
HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR
✓ The HCF of two or more positive integers will be the largest positive integer that
divides the numbers without leaving a remainder.
✓ The HCF is otherwise called as GCD.
✓ For example, take 8 and 12. The H.C.F. of 8 and 12 will be 4 because the highest
number that can divide both 8 and 12 is 4.

Ratio and Proportion
www.enbott.com 58
Ratio and Proportions
✓ Ratio : A ratio is a comparison of two numbers (quantities) by division. The ratio of a to b is written as,
a:b = a/b
In the ratio a:b, a and b are called the terms of the ratio; ‘a’ is the antecedent ‘b’ is the consequent. A ratio
is a number, so to find out the ratio of two quantities. They must be expressed in the same units.
✓ Proportion : A proportion is an expression which states that two ratios are equal.
e.g. 3/12 = 1/4 is a proportion. It can also be expressed as 3 : 12 = 1 : 4 (or) 3 : 12 :: 1 : 4
Each quantity in proportion is called term or proportional. The first and the last terms are called the extremes,
whereas the second and the third terms are called the middle terms. When four quantities are in proportion, the
last quantity is said to be fourth proportional to the other three and also wee find,
Product of the middle term = Product of the extremes

✓ If the present age of A is X years, then ‘n’ years ago, the age of A was (x – n) years.
After ‘n’ years, hence, the age of A will be (x + n) years.
✓ If the present age of A and B are ‘x’ years and ‘y’ years respectively, then ‘n’ years ago,
the ages of A and B were (x – n) years and (y – n) years respectively. After ‘n’ years,

“When the amount investment (𝐼) is same for all the partners, the ratio between their profits is same as the ratio
