Divisibility Rules for Grade 7 Math

This document provides divisibility rules to determine if a number is divisible by certain numbers between 2 and 16. It lists the characteristics that indicate a number is divisible by each number, such as being even to be divisible by 2, or having digits that sum to a multiple of 3 to be divisible by 3. It also gives examples of applying the rules, such as using the rule for 7 to determine if 203 is divisible by 7.

Grade 7: The Learning Equation Math

11.04 Divisibility Rules


Number Concepts
Learning Outcomes:
The student will:
 use divisibility rules to determine if a number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 10.
Characteristic of number Number divisible by:
Last digit is even 2
The sum of the digits is divisible by 3 3
The last two digits form a number divisible by 4 4
The last digit is 0 or 5 5
The number is divisible by both 2 and 3. 6

To find out if a number is divisible by seven, take the last digit, double it, and
subtract it from the rest of the number.

If you get an answer divisible by 7 (including zero), then the original number is
divisible by seven. If you don't know the new number's divisibility, you can
apply the rule again.
7
Example: Check to see if 203 is divisible by 7.

 double the last digit: 3 x 2 = 6


 subtract that from the rest of the number: 20 - 6 = 14.
 check to see if the difference is divisible by 7: 14 is divisible by 7,
therefore 203 is also divisible by 7.

The last three digits form a number divisible by 8 8


The sum of the digits is divisible by 9 9
The numeral ends in 0 10
The (sum of the odd numbered digits) - (sum of the even numbered digits) is
divisible by 11.
Example:

34871903 11
3+8+1+0=12
4+7+9+3=23
23-12=11
Is divisible by 11
The number is divisible by both 3 and 4. 12
Delete the last digit from the number, then subtract 9 times the deleted digit from
the remaining number. If what is left is divisible by 13, then so is the original 13
number.

The last four digits form a number divisible by 16 16

TEST TIP: If a number is divisible by two different prime numbers, then it is divisible by the products
of those two numbers. Since 36, is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is also divisible by 6.
