Any even number is divisible by 2.
Use the divisibility rule for 10. If the number is divisible by 10, then it is obviously also divisible by 5.
If a number is divisible by anything other than itself and 1, it's composite.
If the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3, the whole number is divisible by 3.
7623 is divisible by 3.Test of divisibility by 3:Sum of digits of 7623 = 7+6+2+3 = 18, which is a multiple of 3, so the number is divisible by 3.If sum of the digits of a number is a multiple of 9 then it is divisible by 9.So, 7623 is also divisible by 9.Therefore, test of divisibility can help a lot in determining whether a number is divisible by any other number.

the divisibility rule for 2 is: The number is even;the last digit ends with a 2,4,6,8,10, etc.The divisibility rule fir 3 is: The sum of the number is divisible by 3The divisibility rule for 4 is: The last two digits are divisible by 4The divisibility rule for 5 is: The number ends with a 5 or 0The divisibility rule for 6 is: The sum CAN be divisible by 2 and or 3The divisibility rule for 9 is: The sum of the number is divisible by 9The divisibility rule for 10 is : The number ends with a 0
If a number is divisible by 3 or more numbers than that number is composite, if not than it is prime.
In a calculater or by hand do 295/8 OR by using the divisibility rule of 8 if the last 3 digits are divisible by 8, so is the entire number. So you would still do 295/8 but now you know why.
A number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by 2 AND 3.
There are different divisibility rules for different [potential] divisors.
If a number is divisible by 3 and 5, it is divisible by 15.
A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 AND it is divisible by 4. Rule 1a (Divisibility by 3): Add up all the digits of the number. Is this number divisible by 3? Rule 1b (Divisibility by 4): Is the number formed by the last two digits of the original number (the number left after deleting the hundreds, thousands, millions etc) divisible by 4? If the answer to 1a is NO, then the number is not divisible by 3 and so not divisible by 12. In this case, obviously, rule 1b is irrelevant. If the answer to 1b is NO, then the number is not divisible by 4 and so not divisible by 12. If the answer to both 1a and 1b is YES, then the number is divisible by 12.
