There are two parts to the rule:
Part 1:
If the last but one digit is even, the last digit must be 0, 4 or 8
If the last but one digit is odd, then the last digit must be 2 or 6.
Part 2:
Find the sum of the first, third, fifth, etc digits.
Find the sum of the second, fourth, sixth, etc digits.
The difference between these two sums must be a multiple of 11 ie 0, 11, 22, 33 etc.
Part 1 ensures divisibility by 4
Part 2 ensures divisibility by 11
Together, they ensure divisibility by 44.
