∙ 13y agoA number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by 2 AND 3.
you can't
No. If it is not divisible by 2 it cannot be divisible by 8, so don'y bother.

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.
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.
If the number is also divisible by 2 and 3
There is no easy rule for divisibility by 34.
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.
Here is a very simple algorithm: Call your number "n". You might test divisibility by every number, starting at 2. If the first number by which a number is divisible is equal to "n", then it is a prime number. - Faster algorithms are possible; for example, you really only need to test divisibility by all numbers, up to the square root of your number "n".Here is a very simple algorithm: Call your number "n".

The divisibility rule for 2 works because the base of our number system, 10, is divisible by 2.
It is not.
You can test successive prime numbers to see if your number is divisible by them, but knowing the divisibility rules will help you eliminate some steps, depending on what your number is. If your number is odd, you don't have to test for 2. If the sum of your number's digits do not total a multiple of 3, you don't have to test for 3. If your number doesn't end in a 5 or 0, you don't have to test for 5. Just by looking at your number, you can include or eliminate the three most common primes if you know the rules of divisibility.
2 squared 1 = 4 so the divisibility rule is that it is divisible by 1, 2 and 4.
It is divisibility by 3 and divisibility by 5.Divisibility by 3: the digital root of an integer is obtained by adding together all the digits in the integer, with the process repeated if required. If the final result is 3, 6 or 9, then the integer is divisible by 3.Divisibility by 5: the integer ends in 0 or 5.
The divisibility rule for 22 is that the number is divisible by 2 and by 11. Divisibility by 2 requires that the number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Divisibility by 11 requires that the difference between the sum of the the digits in odd positions and the sum of all the digits in even positions is 0 or divisible by 11.
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.
