Divisibility Rule
Divisibility by 2 First, take any even number (for this example it will be 376) and note the last digit in the number, discarding the other digits. Then take that digit (6) while ignoring the rest of the number and determine if it is divisible by 2. If it is divisible by 2, then the original number is divisible by 2. Example 376 (The original number) 37 6 (Take the last digit) 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (Check to see if the last digit is divisible by 2) 376 ÷ 2 = 188 (If the last digit is divisible by 2, then the whole number is divisible by 2) Divisibility by 3 First, take any number (for this example it will be 492) and add together each digit in the number (4 + 9 + 2 = 15). Then take that sum (15) and determine if it is divisible by 3. The original number is divisible by 3 if and only if the final number is divisible by 3. If a number is a multiplication of 3 consecutive numbers then that number is always divisible by 3. This is useful for when the number takes the ...
