The foolproof way is to divide 4 into it. If the answer is a whole number, it's divisible by 4. You can also tell by looking at it. If the last two digits are a multiple of 4, like 24 or 80, the whole number is divisible by 4.

If you divide an even number by two and the result is even, the original number is divisible by four. If the number is more than two digits, you only need to focus on the last two since all hundreds and thousands and up are divisible by four. If the number is two digits or less, you need to memorize the 4 times table.
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4.
Equivalently, halve the number formed by the last two digits. If the quotient is even, then the original number is divisible by 4.
There are two equivalent ways:
If the last two digits of the number are divisible by 4, the whole number is divisible by 4.
It's very easy to test a number to see if it is divisible by 4 or by 9. If it passes both tests, then it is divisible by 4x9=36.To test for divisibility by 9, add the digits of the number. If the sum is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.To test for divisibility by 4, look at the last two digits. If they are a multiple of 4, then the number is divisible by 4.
Take the number 3336. You know it's divisible by 1 because everything is. You know it's divisible by 2 because it's even. You know it's divisible by 3 because the digits add up to a multiple of 3 and you know it's divisible by 4 because the last two digits are divisible by 4. So you've found at least four factors: 1,2,3 and 4.
No, 4 is not divisible by 348. In order for a number to be divisible by another number, the remainder of the division operation must be zero. When you divide 4 by 348, the remainder is 4, which means 4 is not divisible by 348.
If a number is divisible by both three and four, it's divisible by twelve.
