What are the common divisibility rules
Divisibility Rules
 
Divisible by 2:
A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).
Example: 3,456 is divisible by 2 because it ends in 6.
Divisible by 3:
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Example: 123 (1+2+3 = 6). Since 6 is divisible by 3, 123 is also divisible by 3.
Divisible by 4:
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4.
Example: 5,116. The last two digits form the number 16. Since 16 is divisible by 4, 5,116 is also divisible by 4.
Divisible by 5:
A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is a 0 or a 5.
Example: 785 is divisible by 5 because it ends in 5.
Divisible by 6:
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Example: 48 is an even number (divisible by 2), and the sum of its digits is 4+8=12, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 48 is divisible by 6.
Divisible by 8:
A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by its last three digits is divisible by 8.
Example: 3,128. The number formed by the last three digits is 128. Since 128 ÷ 8 = 16, 3,128 is divisible by 8.
Divisible by 9:
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
Example: 549 (5+4+9 = 18). Since 18 is divisible by 9, 549 is also divisible by 9.
Divisible by 10:
A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit is a 0.
Example: 900 is divisible by 10 because it ends in 0.
