Test of divisibility by 2:If a number is even then the number can be evenly divided by 2.5890 is an even number so, it is divisible by 2.Test of divisibility by 3:A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of digits of the number is a multiple of 3.Sum of digits = 5+8+9+0 = 22, which is not a multiple of 3.So, 5890 is not divisible by 3.Test of divisibility by 6:In order to check if a number is divisible by 6, we have to check if it is divisible by both 2 and 3 because 6 = 2x3.As we have seen above that 5890 is not divisible by 3 so, 5890 fails to pass the divisibility test by 6.Test of divisibility by 9:If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 9 then the number is divisible by 9.Sum of digits = 5+8+9+0 = 22, which is not a multiple of 9.So, 5890 is not divisible by 9.Test of divisibility by 5:If the last digit of a number is 0 or 5, then it is divisible by 5.It is clear that 5890 is divisible by 5.Test of divisibility by 10:If the last digit of a number is 0, then the number is divisible by 10.It is clear that 5890 is divisible by 10 as the last digit is 0.
A number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by 2 AND 3.
No. If it is not divisible by 2 it cannot be divisible by 8, so don'y bother.
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.

The divisibility rule for 2 works because the base of our number system, 10, is divisible by 2.

If the number is also divisible by 2 and 3
No.
A number is divisible by 6 if the number is divisible by 2 AND 3.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 are the multiples of 5 from 1 to 30.
No. If it is not divisible by 2 it cannot be divisible by 8, so don'y bother.
There is no easy rule for divisibility by 34.
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
