56 = 7 × 8, thus the number must be divisible by both 7 and 8 - check for each of these digits:

8 is easy to check: add the units digit to twice the tens digit to 4 times the hundreds digit; if this sum is divisible by 8 then so is the original number.

There is no easy check for 7. One I can offer:

Split the number into blocks of 3 digits starting at the right hand end.

Now alternatively subtract and add the each of the digits from the blocks: the units, tens and hundreds digits separately.

Finally add the sum of the units digits to 3 times the sum of the tens digits to twice the sum of the hundreds digits; if this sum is divisible by 7, then so is the original number.

eg 123456789 → 123 456 789

→ sum units: 9 - 6 + 3 = 6

→ sum tens: 8 - 5 + 2 = 5

→ sum hundreds: 7 - 4 + 1 = 4

→ check sum: 6 + 3×5 + 2×4 = 29

29 is not divisible by 7, so 123456789 is not divisible by 7.

[The remainder of 29 divided by 7 is 1, so 123456789 divided by 7 has a remainder of 1.]

eg is 135792648 divisible by 56?

8 + 2×4+4×6 = 40 which is divisible by 8, so 135792648 is divisible by 8.

135792648 → 135 792 648

→ sum units: 8 - 2 + 5 = 11

→ sum 10s: 4 - 9 + 3 = -2

→ sum 100s: 6 - 7 + 1 = 0

→ chk: 11 + 3×-2 + 2×0 = 5 not divisible by 7, so 135792648 is not divisible by 7

Thus 135792648 is not divisible by 56

eg is 63592648 divisible by 56?

Divisible by 8 as before: 8 + 2×4 + 4×6 = 40 = 5×8

63 592 648

→ sum units: 8 - 2 + 3 = 9

→ sum 10s: 4 - 9 + 6 = 1

→ sum 100s: 6 - 5 = 1

→ chk: 9 + 3×1 + 2×1 = 14 = 2×7 → divisible by 7

→ 63592648 is divisible by 56

(63592648 = 113558×56)

How divisibility rules can help you find common factors?

Divisibility rules help you find the factors of a number. Once you've found the factors for two or more numbers, you can find what they have in common. Take 231 and 321. If you know the divisibility rules, you know that they are both divisible by 3, so 3 is a common factor.
