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.
