To check for divisibility by 9 sum the digits of the number and if this sum is divisible by 9 then so is the original number. For 32643: 3 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18 which is divisible by 9 so 32643 is divisible by 9. As 9 = 3 × 3, any number divisible by 9 is also divisible by 3, thus as 32643 is divisible by 9 it is also divisible by 3. However, for completeness: to check for divisibility by 3 sum the digits of the number and if this sum is divisible by 3 then so is the original number. For 32643: 3 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18 which is divisible by 3 so 32643 is divisible by 3.
It is because 186426 = 3*62142 and 186426 = 9*20714.
Using the tests for divisibility:Divisible by 3:Add the digits and if the sum is divisible by 3, so is the original number: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 which is divisible by 3, so 234 is divisible by 3Divisible by 6:Number is divisible by 2 and 3: Divisible by 2:If the number is even (last digit divisible by 2), then the whole number is divisible by 2. 234 is even so 234 is divisible by 2.Divisible by 3:Already shown above to be divisible by 3. 234 is divisible by both 2 & 3 so 234 is divisible by 6Divisible by 9:Add the digits and if the sum is divisible by 9, so is the original number: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 which is divisible by 9, so 234 is divisible by 9Thus 234 is divisible by all 3, 6 & 9.
