Math Problem Statement
Check if 728 is divisible by 6?
Solution
To check if 728 is divisible by 6, we need to check two conditions:
-
Divisibility by 2: A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even.
- The last digit of 728 is 8, which is even, so 728 is divisible by 2.
-
Divisibility by 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
- The sum of the digits of 728 is .
- Since 17 is not divisible by 3, 728 is not divisible by 3.
Since 728 is divisible by 2 but not by 3, it is not divisible by 6.
