All numbers divisible by 5 (of which 15 is a multiple) have a final digit of 0 or 5.
All numbers divisible by 3 (of which 15 is a multiple) have the sum of the digits totalling 3 or a multiple of 3.
Therefore, a number is divisible by 15 if the sum of its digits total 3 or a multiple of 3 and its final digit is 0 or 5.
Example : 32085 ; 3 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 5 = 18 which is divisible by 3. Final digit 5.
This number is divisible by 15. (32085 ÷ 15 = 2139)
7420 : 7 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 13. This number is not divisible by 15.
