Divisibility Rules

Did you know there is a trick to divisibility? There are quite a lot. We know everything is divisible by 1 and everything that's an even number is  by 2.

3 is if the numbers in the number added up is divisible by 3. So, an example for three is like  4 goes into it. So, the number 1,234,328 is divisible by 4 because, 4 goes into 28 evenly.

5 is easy if the number ends in a 0 or 5 it's divisible by 5.
 Like this number 100,234,595 goes into 5 because, it ends in a 5.

 The one for 6 is if the number goes into 3 and 2. Like the number 342.

 A number that's divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8.

 The one for 9 is if the digits in the number all added up is divisible by 9.

 The one for 10 is if the number ends in a 0  it's  divisible by 10.
