Best Answer

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.

What are the divisibility rules for 1 through 50?

Do the division, if there is no remainder, it is divisible. Seriously, many of the "divisibility rules" that have been discovered become more complicated than doing the actual division. For practical purposes, just learn the divisibility rules for a few simple cases (divisibility rules by 2, 4, 8, 5, 10, 3, 9, 7, 11, and 13), and for all other cases, just do the division.
