Divisibility rules by numbers
Solution
Divisibility rules help determine if one number is divisible by another without performing the division. Here are the divisibility rules for numbers 1 through 10:
1. Divisibility by 1:
- Every number is divisible by 1.
2. Divisibility by 2:
- A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).
3. Divisibility by 3:
- A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
4. Divisibility by 4:
- A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4.
5. Divisibility by 5:
- A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.
6. Divisibility by 6:
- A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
7. Divisibility by 7:
- A number is divisible by 7 if, after doubling the last digit and subtracting it from the rest of the number, the result is divisible by 7. This is more complicated but effective.
8. Divisibility by 8:
- A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits form a number divisible by 8.
9. Divisibility by 9:
- A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
10. Divisibility by 10:
- A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit is 0.
