Every number has a test for divisibility. The issue is that the tests get more complicated as the divisor increases. For primes up to 50, see either of the attached links.
You could combine the tests for divisibility by 3 and 4. To test for divisibility by three, add all the digits together and see if they're divisible by three. If necessary, you can keep repeating the addition until you come up with a single-digit number. To test for divisibility by four, take the last two digits. If that two-digit number is divisible by four, then the whole number is. This is because any multiple of 100 is divisible by 4, so only the last two digits matter. Combined, these two tests will allow you to quickly check for divisibility by 12.
The divisibility rules of 4 and 9 are combined to make the divisibility rule of 36.
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
The answer will depend on the divisibility rules list.
These tests go back to antiquity. I have just learned that a test for divisibility by seven is discussed in the Babylonian Talmud! Since then many mathematicians have invented more tests probably up to the present day. A good summary can be found by searching google for mangho ahuja james bruening. You will find their paper by the title 'A Survey of Divisibility Tests with a Historical Perspective.'

To test divisibility for 20, you need to use the tests for divisibility by 4 and 5.The test for divisibility by 4 is that the last 2 digits of the number, given as a 2-digit number, are divisible by 4.Example for 4:We are testing the number 11042.42/4 = 10.5 which is not a whole number. Therefore 11042 is not divisible by 4.The test for divisibility by 5 is that the last digit of the number is either 5 or 0.

There is no easy rule for divisibility by 34.
Divisibility is what a number can be divided by.
It is somebody talking about divisibility.
By tautology. If it did not work, it would not be a divisibility rule!
why does the divisibility rule work for 4
There are two ways of answering this.Check the number for divisibility by 2.Check the quotient for divisibility by 2.Check the quotient for divisibility by 2.Check the quotient for divisibility by 2.Check the quotient for divisibility by 2.Check the quotient for divisibility by 2.For large numbers, the check can be restricted to the number formed by the last six digits.
6 = 2 x 3So it must satisfy the divisibility tests for both 2 and 3, namely:Any even number for which the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
