3. Divisibility Rules :-
Rules to help you determine if numbers are divisible by other numbers.
Divisible – if a number can be divided by another number with no remainder, decimal, or fraction.
We will learn rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

4. Divisibility Rule for 2 A number is divisible by 2 if…
The number is even.
Even numbers end in 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0.
Examples
412
230
516

5. Divisibility Rule for 10 A number is divisible by 10 if…
The number ends in a zero.
Examples
4,000
210 50

6. Divisibility Rule for 5 A number is divisible by 5 if…
The number ends in a 5 or 0.
Examples
4,000
215
355

7. Divisibility Rule for 3 A number is divisible by 3 if…
The sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3.
Examples
354
= 12
12 / 3 = 4
9,363,129
= 33
33/3 = 11

8. Divisibility Rule for 9 A number is divisible by 9 if…
The sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9.
Examples
495
= 18
18 / 9 = 2
999,918
= 45
45 / 9 = 5

The number is divisible by both 3 and 2.
Examples
930
6000
216

10. Divisibility Rule for 4 A number is divisible by 4 if…
The last 2 digits of the number is divisible by 4.
Examples
9,264
1,209,124
216

11. Divisibility Rule for 8 A number is divisible by 8 if…
The last 3 digits of the number are divisible by 8.
Examples
9,808
8,942,216
848

12. Divisibility Rules A number is divisible by: 2 if the number is even.
3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
4 if the last 2 digits of the number are ÷ by 4.
5 if the number ends in a 5 or 0.
6 if the number is divisible by 2 and 3.
8 if the last 3 digits of the number are ÷ by 8.
9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
10 if the number ends in a 0.
