Best Answer

21 is not divisible by 2 nor 5, but it is divisible by 3.

To be divisible by 2 the last digit must be even (one of {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}; the last digit 1 is not one of these, thus 21 is not divisible by 2

To be divisible by 3 sum the digits and if this total is divisible by 3, then so is the original number; the test can be repeated on the sum, so by repeatedly summing the digits of the totals until a single digit remains only if that single digit is 3, 6 or 9 is the original number divisible by 3. 21 → 2 + 1 = 3 which is divisible by 3 so 21 is divisible by 3.

To be divisible by 5, the last digit must be 0 or 5. The last digit of 21 is 1 which is not 0 nor 5, thus 21 is not divisible by 5.

Is there a number divisible by 6. But not 3?

yeah3 9 15 21 27 and so on(every other multiple of three)But if you have a large number, like 755253, and don't have a calculator handy, then use sum of digits to determine if divisible by 3.Then if the number is divisible by 3 and divisible by 2, then it is also divisible by 6.So in this case: 7 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 27, which is divisible by 3, but the original number is odd, so the number is not divisible by 6.
