Divisibility Rules & Prime Factorization

Divisibility Rules:

1. Divisibility by 4:

A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4.

Example:

- 124 -> last two digits = 24 -> 24 ÷ 4 = 6 (divisible)

2. Divisibility by 7:

Double the last digit, subtract it from the rest of the number.

Example:

- 203 -> double last digit = 3*2 = 6 -> 20 - 6 = 14 -> 14 ÷ 7 = 2 (divisible)

3. Divisibility by 9:

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

Example:

- 729 -> 7 + 2 + 9 = 18 -> 18 ÷ 9 = 2 (divisible)

4. Divisibility by 6:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

Example:

- 132 -> even (divisible by 2) AND 1+3+2 = 6 (divisible by 3) -> divisible by 6

5. Divisibility by 8:

A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits form a number divisible by 8.


Example:

- 1,000 -> last three digits = 000 -> 0 ÷ 8 = 0 (divisible)

6. Divisibility by 11:

Subtract and add the digits in alternating pattern, check if the result is divisible by 11.

Example:

- 2728 -> (2 + 2) - (7 + 8) = 4 - 15 = -11 -> divisible by 11

Prime Factorization:

1. 30 = 2 * 3 * 5

2. 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 (or 2^3 * 3)
