Divisibility
A number is divisible by another number if it is a true multiple of the other number (or if the division problem does
not have a remainder.
24 is divisible by 3 because 24 ÷ 3 = 8 with no remainder.
25 is not divisible by 3 because it would have a remainder of 1!
This first section of this booklet will help you to learn the divisibility rules that you will need and use every day. The
numbers are all less than 169 because using the Fraction Actions method, you will never end up with numbers
greater than 169 that are not already finished numbers. The last section of the book will help you with a few rules that
you will need to know for NC EOG testing purposes.
Divisibility Rules
Divisibility Rule for 2
When the last digit in a number is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, the number is divisible by 2
Divisibility Rule for 5
When the last digit in a number is 0 or 5, the number is divisible by 5
Divisibility Rule for 3
When the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3, the number is divisible by 3
Divisibility Rule for 7
Double the last digit in a number and subtract it from the rest of the number.
If the result is a known multiple of 7, then the number is divisible by 7.
If the result is not known, repeat the rule with the new number!
Divisibility Rule for 11
When the sum of the odd digits is equal to (or 11 more than) the sum of the even digits, the number is
divisible by 11
Divisibility Rule for 13
Nine times the last digit in a number and subtract it from the rest of the number.
If the result is a known multiple of 13, then the number is divisible by 13.
If the result is not known, repeat the rule with the new number!
Divisibility Rule for 4
When the last 2 digits in a number are a multiple of 4, the number is divisible by 4
Divisibility Rule for 6
When a number is divisible by 2 and 3, the number is divisible by 6
Divisibility Rule for 9
When the sum of the digits is a multiple of 9, the number is divisible by 9
Divisibility Rule for 10
When the last digit in a number is 0, the number is divisible by 10

The divisibility rule for 2 and 5 ask you to look at the

2, 5 80
last digit of the number.
80 ends with 0. According to the rules, numbers that
If the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 the number is divisible end with 0 are divisible by 2 and 5.
by 2.

If the last digit is 0 or 5, the number is divisible by 5. 2 158

158 ends with 8. 8 is part of the 2 rule.

Ø 151

151 ends with 1. 1 is not part of either rule, so 151 is

not divisible by 2 or 5.

5 215

215 ends with 5. Twenty-five is divisible by 5!

Apply the divisibility rules for 2 and 5. If the number is divisible by 2 or 5, write which ever answer is true. You do
not need to write both answers. (example: 110 is divisible by both 2 and 5, you may answer 2) If the number is not
divisible by these rules, enter Ø.

Congratulations!
If you made 0 errors, you have mastered the rules you will use to find prime and composite numbers and never be
puzzled when doing prime factoring problems. If you need more practice, you can visit the divisibility rules page @
Math6.org and keep your skills sharp. Practice the rules that give you the butterflies, not the ones you are good at!
You may also print the problems only version of this workbook so that you can drill yourself to greater mastery.

To tell whether a number that is less than 169 is prime or composite, simply check it for divisibility by 2, 3, 5, 7, and
11. As soon as it passes one of those rules, the number is composite. If it fails all of the rules, the number is prime!
You could add the 13 rule so that you could go past 169, but you will need that rule so rarely that most teachers don’t
ask you to go there. If you want help with the 13 rule, Math6.org offers help.

Using these rules to know the divisor for a factor tree will help you to quickly and efficiently find the prime factors of
any number. Prime Factoring easy numbers is the foundation of the Fraction Actions method as taught @ Math6.org.
By using the Fraction Actions method, all fraction problems become very similar and you will find that fraction
problems become easy. To learn more about prime factoring or the Fraction Actions method, visit the Fraction
Actions page @ Math6.org.

Since most fractions methods require you to know all of the factors of a number, there are a few more rules to master.
Most tests will want to know all of the rules. We still need to work on and master the following rules to declare
ourselves a Divisibility Rules Master.
Divisibility Rules
Divisibility Rule for 4
When the last 2 digits in a number are a multiple of 4, the number is divisible by 4
Divisibility Rule for 6
When a number is divisible by 2 and 3, the number is divisible by 6
Divisibility Rule for 9
When the sum of the digits is a multiple of 9, the number is divisible by 9
Divisibility Rule for 10
When the last digit in a number is 0, the number is divisible by 10

The following sets of drills will ask you to list all of the numbers that the given number is divisible by. You will need
to master this skill for testing purposes and to make fractions easier if you choose to learn a method for fraction
computations other than the Fraction Actions method.

Divisibility (9)
Lesson Box Models

The divisibility rule for 9 asks you to find the sum of

Ø 581
the digits. If the sum of the digits is a multiple of 9,
then the number is divisible by 9. 5 + 8 + 1 = 14

297 9 657
2 + 9 + 7 = 18.
18 is a multiple of 9. 6 + 5 + 7 = 18
297 is divisible by 9.

342 Ø 921
3 + 4 + 2 = 9.
9 is a multiple of 9. 2 + 1 = 3 (or 9 + 2 + 1 = 12)
342 is divisible by 9.

To cast out 9’s don’t add any 9’s. 9 369

954 … 5 + 4 = 9
298 … 2 + 8 = 10 3 + 6 = 9 (or 3 + 6 + 9 = 18)
692 … 2 + 6 = 8
9 783

7 + 8 + 3 = 18

Apply the divisibility rule for 9. If the number is divisible by 9, write 9. If the number is not divisible by 9, enter Ø.
