Divisibility Rule

The document outlines divisibility rules for numbers 2 through 9, detailing specific criteria for each. For example, a number is divisible by 2 if it is even, by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3, and by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5. Additional rules for 6, 7, 8, and 9 are also provided, highlighting the conditions for divisibility for each case.

Divisibility Rule of 2

If a number is even or a number whose last digit is an even number i.e. 2,4,6,8 including 0, it is always
completely divisible by 2.

Divisibility Rule of 3
Divisibility rule for 3 states that a number is completely divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible
by 3.

Divisibility Rule of 4
If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, then that number is a multiple of 4 and is divisible
by 4 completely.

Divisibility Rule of 5
Numbers, which last with digits, 0 or 5 are always divisible by 5.
Example: 10, 10000, 10000005, 595, 396524850, etc.

Divisibility Rule of 6
Numbers which are divisible by both 2 and 3 are divisible by 6. That is, if the last digit of the given
number is even and the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3, then the given number is also a multiple of
6.

Divisibility Rules for 7


The rule for divisibility by 7 is a bit complicated which can be understood by the steps given below:

Example: Is 1073 divisible by 7?

 From the rule stated remove 3 from the number and double it, which becomes 6.
 Remaining number becomes 107, so 107-6 = 101.
 Repeating the process one more time, we have 1 x 2 = 2.
 Remaining number 10 – 2 = 8.
 As 8 is not divisible by 7, hence the number 1073 is not divisible by 7.

Divisibility Rule of 8
If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8.

Divisibility Rule of 9
The rule for divisibility by 9 is similar to divisibility rule for 3. That is, if the sum of digits of the number
is divisible by 9, then the number itself is divisible by 9.
