There is no simple rule for finding out if a number if divisible by 13.

The only method that I know is as follows:

  • Split the number into two parts: the first part (A) comprises all but the last (units) digit, and the second part B is the units digit.
  • Calculate A+4B
  • Repeat with this new number until you reach 13, 26 or 39 (or 0 if you are looking for divisibility of 0!). Any

So, for example,

1755 gives 175 + 4*5 = 175 + 20 = 195

195 gives 19 + 4*5 = 19 + 20 = 39

therefore 1755 is divisible by 13.

13 is only divisible by itself and one because it is a prime number.

Who invented the divisibility rules?

Oh honey, divisibility rules have been around longer than your grandma's secret meatloaf recipe. But if you want a name to drop at your next trivia night, credit goes to good ol' Euclid. He's the OG mathematician who laid down the law on how numbers can play nice and divide evenly.
