Divisibility Rules
Click to return to the
table of contents
Divisible
When one number can be divided by another and the result is an
exact whole number.
five
Example: 15 is divisible by 3
because 15 ÷ 3 = 5 exactly
three
BUT 9 is not divisible by 2
because 9 ÷ 2 is 4 with one left
over.
Divisibility
A number is divisible by another number when the remainder
is 0.
There are rules to tell if a number is divisible by certain other
numbers.
Divisibility Rules
Look at the last digit in the Ones Place!
2
Last digit is even-0,2,4,6,8
5
Last digit is 5 OR 0
10
Last digit is 0
Check the Sum!
3

9
Sum of digits is divisible by 3
Number is divisible by 3 AND 2
Sum of digits is divisible by 9
Look at Last Digits
4
Last 2 digits form a number divisible by 4
Let's Practice!
Is 34 divisible by 2?
Yes, because the digit in the ones place is an even
number. Therefore, 34 / 2 = 17
Is 1,075 divisible by 5?
Yes because the digit in the ones place is a 5.
Therefore, 1,075 / 5 = 215
Is 740 divisible by 10?
Yes, because the digit in the ones place is a 0.
Therefore, 740 / 10 = 74
x
Is 258 divisible by 3?
Yes, because the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
2 + 5 + 8 = 15 Look 15 / 3 = 5
Therefore, 258 / 3 = 86
Is 193 divisible by 6?
Yes, because the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 AND 2.
1 + 9 + 2 = 12 Look 12 /3 = 4
Therefore, 192 / 6 = 32
x
Is 6,237 divisible by 9?
Yes, because the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
6 + 2 + 3 + 7 = 18 Look 18 / 9 = 2
Therefore, 6,237 /9=693
Is 520 divisible by 4?
Yes, because the number made by the last two digits
is divisible by 4.
20 / 4 = 5
Therefore, 520 / 4 = 130

Powers of 10
Numbers like 10, 100 and 1,000 are called powers of 10.
They are numbers that can be written as products of tens.
2
100 can be written as 10 x 10 or 10 .
3
1,000 can be written as 10 x 10 x 10 or 10 .

10
The raised digit is called the exponent. The exponent tells
how many tens are multiplied.
3
A number written with an exponent, like 10 , is in exponential
notation.
A number written in a more familiar way, like 1,000 is in
standard notation.

Add on as many 0s as appear in the power of 10.
Examples:
28 x 10 = 280
Add on one 0
28 x 100 = 2,800

Let's look at how to multiply a decimal by a Power of 10
(greater than 1)
Example: 1,000 x 45.6 = ?
Steps
1. Locate the decimal point in the power of
10.
1,000 = 1,000.
2. Move the decimal point LEFT until you get 1 0 0 0 . (3 places)
to the number 1.
3. Move the decimal point in the other factor
the same number of places, but to the
RIGHT. Insert 0s as needed.

That's your answer.
So, 1,000 x 45.6 = 45,000

Mr. Taylor's students take turns working shifts at the
school store. If there are 23 students in his class and they
work 253 shifts during the year, how many shifts will each
student in the class work?
23)253
Step 1 Compare the divisor to the dividend to
decide where to place the first digit in the
quotient. Divide the tens.
Think: What number multiplies by 23 is less
than or equal to 25.
Step 2 Multiply the number of tens in the quotient
times the divisor.
Subtract the product from the dividend.
Bring down the next number in the dividend.
Step 3 Divide the result by 23.
Write the number in the ones place of the
quotient.
Think: What number multiplied by 23 is less
than or equal to 23?
Step 4 Multiply the number in the ones place of the
quotient by the divisor.
Subtract the product from 23.
If the difference is zero, there is no remainder.
Each student will work 11 shifts at the school store.

If the Difference in the Last Step of Division is not a Zero, this is the Remainder.
The definition of a Remainder is an amount "left over" that does not make a full
group (Divisor).
Write the Remainder as a Fraction.

Difference 62
bottom number Divisor

Interpreting the Remainder
In word problems, we need to interpret the what the remainder
means.
For example: Celina has 58 pencils and wants to share them
with 5 people.
11
5) 58

5 people will each get 11 pencils
-5
and there will be 3 left over.

What does the remainder below mean?
Violet is packing books. She has 246 books and 24 fit in a box.
How many boxes does she need?

The remainder means she
would have 6 books that would
not fit in the 10 boxes. She
would need 11 boxes to fit all
the books.
