How do you tell if a number is prime or not?
A prime number is one that has only two factors: one and itself.You can tell if a number is prime quickly by using the Laws of Divisibility:Numbers that end in 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are divisible by 2.If the sum of a number's digit is divisible by 3, the number itself is divisible by 3.If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number itself is divisible by 4.If a number ends in 0 or 5, it is divisible by 5.If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6.If you double the last digit and subtract it from the rest of the number and the answer is 0 or divisible by 7, it is divisible by 7. For example, 4364: 4 doubled is 8. 436 - 8 = 424. You still cannot readily tell if the number is divisible by 7, so you can do it again: 4 doubled is 8. 42 - 8 = 34. 34 is not divisible by 7 so 436 is not divisible by 7If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, the number itself is divisible by 8.If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, the number itself is divisible by 9.If a number ends with 0, it is divisible by 10.If you add every other digit and then subtract the rest of the digits and the answer is 0 or is divisible by 11, the number itself is divisible by 11. For example: 1364: 1+ 6 = 7 and 7 - 3 - 4 = 0. The number is divisible by 11.If the number is divisible by 3 and 4, it is divisible by 12.There are more divisibility rules that can be used for large numbers.
Can a number be divisible by 6 and 8 without being divisible by 6 times 8 equals 48?
Yes - 24 is divisible by both 6 and 8 - but is NOT divisible by 48
What number is divisible by 2 4 5 6 7 8?

Is 8 divisible by 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9?
Yes, 8 is divisible by any number but, of your list, the only numbers by which 8 is EVENLY divisible are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
Are all even numbers are divisible by 6 and 8?
No, 14 is an even number and is not divisible by 6 or 8.
