Question

Devisibility rules for 3, 6, and 9

Answer 1

Answer:

★ Divisibility rule for 3 -

If the sum of all the digits divisible by 3 then the number is divisible by 3.

Here, we take an example for better understanding -

Example 1 - 3525

Add up the digits - 3 + 5 + 2 + 5

→ 15

As, 15 is divisible by 3. So, 3525 is a factor of 3.

★ Divisibility rule for 6 -

A number is to be divisible by 6 , if the number is also divisible by 2 and 3.

Example 2 - 132

Add up the digits = 1 + 3 + 2 = 6

As, 6 is divisible by 2 and it's also divisible by 3. Then, 132 is a factor of 6.

★ Divisibility rule for 9 -

If the sum of all the digits is divisible by 9 then the number is divisible by 9. Just like we'd in 3.

Example 3 - 1052

Add up the digits - 10 + 5 + 2 = 17

As, 17 is not divisible by 9. So, 1052 is also not divisible by 9.
