Question

Determine if ( − 3) is a factor of (4 − 52 − 6 − 10). Explain in words why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

No for being a factor of 4, No for being a factor of 52, No for being a factor of 10 but yes for being a factor of 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first at foremost, ignore the negative. Think of it as 3. So apply the normal divisibility rule of 3. (If sum of all digits of the number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.)

No negative numbers can be a factor. So the same applies. (-3 × -2 = 6).
