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.

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.
