Because when you divide 453 by 3, you get a whole number (a number that doesn't have a decimal or fraction) which comes out to be 151. However, when you divide 453 by 2, you get 226.5 or 226 1/2. Since this is not a whole number it is not divisible by 2. Anything divisible by 2 will end with and even number(2, 4, 6, 8, or 0(this does exclude 0 itself)) Divisibility does have rules to help

If the number is divisible by:

2 - it will end with an even number

3 - the sum of the digits will be a multiple of 3

4 - the last 2 digits will be a multiple of 4

5 - the number will end with a 5 or 0(excluding 0 again)

6 - the number is divisible by 2 and 3

7 - I haven't found any trick for 7 =( sorry

8 - the last 3 digits are divisible by 8

9 - the sum of the digits are a multiple of 9

10 - the number ends with 0(excluding 0)

Of course you could divide all of these on a calculator but here are some tricks to help.

Hope this helped =)

Is 234 divisible by 3 6 and 9?

Using the tests for divisibility:Divisible by 3:Add the digits and if the sum is divisible by 3, so is the original number: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 which is divisible by 3, so 234 is divisible by 3Divisible by 6:Number is divisible by 2 and 3: Divisible by 2:If the number is even (last digit divisible by 2), then the whole number is divisible by 2. 234 is even so 234 is divisible by 2.Divisible by 3:Already shown above to be divisible by 3. 234 is divisible by both 2 & 3 so 234 is divisible by 6Divisible by 9:Add the digits and if the sum is divisible by 9, so is the original number: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 which is divisible by 9, so 234 is divisible by 9Thus 234 is divisible by all 3, 6 & 9.


How do you know if 54132 is divisible by 6?

To determine if a number is divisible by 6, it must be divisible by both 2 and 3. To determine if a number is divisible by 2, it should be even - in other words, it should end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. To determine if a number is divisible by 3, the sum of its digits should be divisible by 3. 54,132 is an even number, so it is divisible by 2. 5 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 15, which is divisible by 3, so 54,132 is divisible by 3. Since 54,132 is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6.
