Divisibility Rules of 7,8,9,10,11
Number Divisibility Rule Example
Double the last digit and
7 subtract from the rest. 203 → 20 − (3×2) = 14
Result divisible by 7.
Last 3 digits form a
8 5,320 → 320 ÷ 8 = 40

Alternating sum of digits
divisible by 11 i.e
11 1,452 → 1−4+5−2 = 0
(sum of odd place digits –
sum of even place digits).
Divisibility Rule for 12, 13,
14,15,16, 17
Number Divisibility Rule Example

12 Divisible by both 3 and 4. 144 ÷ 3 = 48; ÷4 = 36

Multiply last digit by 4 and


13 585 → 58 + (5×4) = 78
add the rest of the digits.
