- 1. Divisibility tests These are simple tricks to test what a number can be shared by . We are going to learn tricks for testing if a number can be shared by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and multiples of 10.
- 2. Divisibility tests x x = 150 This is a typical SATs question that can be solved by divisibility tests. Here we are asked to list 3 numbers that can be multiplied to make 150. Think about it. We will come back to this question after we learn our skills.
- 3. Divisibility tests Divisible by 2? If a number is divisible by 2…
- 4. Divisibility tests Divisible by 2? If a number is divisible by 2… It ends with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0 (in other words it’s an EVEN number.)
- 5. Divisibility tests Divisible by 3? If a number is divisible by 3…
- 6. Divisibility tests Divisible by 3? If a number is divisible by 3… It’s digit sum is 3, 6, or 9. The digit sum is when you add the digits in the number repeating until you get to 1 digit.
- 7. Divisibility tests Divisible by 3? So the number 1467 has a digit sum of 9 1 + 4 + 6 + 7 = 18 then 1 + 8 = 9 So 1467 is divisible by 3.
- 8. Divisibility tests Divisible by 4? If a number is divisible by 4…
- 9. Divisibility tests Divisible by 4? If a number is divisible by 4… If we half the number, and the result is even, then our number is divisible by 4.
- 10. Divisibility tests Divisible by 4? If a number is divisible by 4… If the last 2 digits of a number are divisible by 4, then our number is as well. 4 655 728 is divisible by 4 because 28 is divisible by 4.
- 11. Divisibility tests Divisible by 5? If a number is divisible by 5…
- 12. Divisibility tests Divisible by 5? If a number is divisible by 5… It ends with a 5 or a 0. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, …
- 13. Divisibility tests Divisible by 6? If a number is divisible by 6…
- 14. Divisibility tests Divisible by 6? If a number is divisible by 6… It passes the tests for both divisibility by 2 and divisibility by 3. In other words – an EVEN number with digit sum 3, 6 or 9
- 15. Divisibility tests Divisible by 7? If a number is divisible by 7…
- 16. Divisibility tests Divisible by 7? If a number is divisible by 7… It appears in the 7 times table! Sorry! You’ll just have to learn it because there is no trick for 7s!
- 17. Divisibility tests Divisible by 8? If a number is divisible by 8…
- 18. Divisibility tests Divisible by 8? If a number is divisible by 8… If you halve it, and halve it again, the result is an even number. If the last 3 digits are divisible by 8, the whole number will be.
- 19. Divisibility tests Divisible by 8? If a number is divisible by 8… So 2, 560, 104 is divisible by 8 because 104 is divisible by 8. ( 104 ÷ 2 = 52 52 ÷ 2 = 26 26 is EVEN. )
- 20. Divisibility tests Divisible by 9? If a number is divisible by 9…
- 21. Divisibility tests Divisible by 9? If a number is divisible by 9… It’s digit sum is 9
- 22. Divisibility tests Divisible by 9? If a number is divisible by 9… It’s digit sum is 9 This means it is also divisible by 3!
- 23. Divisibility tests Divisible by 10? If a number is divisible by 10… It ends in a 0
- 24. Divisibility tests Divisible by 10? If a number is divisible by 10… It ends in a 0 So these numbers are also divisible by 2 and 5
- 25. Divisibility tests Divisible by 100? If a number is divisible by 100… It ends in a 00
- 26. Divisibility tests Divisible by 1000? If a number is divisible by 1000… It ends in a 000
- 27. Divisibility tests Divisible by 1000? If a number is divisible by 1000… It ends in a 000 And so on…
- 28. Divisibility tests Divisible by …? 2: ends with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0 3: digit sum is 3, 6, or 9 4: halve last 2 digits and the result is even 5: ends with 5 or 0 6: ends with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0 AND digit sum is 3, 6, or 9 7: - 8: Halve the last 3 digits twice, and the result is even. 9: digit sum is 9 10: ends with 0
- 29. Divisibility tests x x = 150 Remember this question… Test 150 to see what can go in the boxes.
- 30. Divisibility tests x x = 150 Remember this question… 150 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10 amongst other numbers (pick any one for the first box)
- 31. Divisibility tests x x = 150 Remember this question… 2 150 ÷ 2 = 75
- 32. Divisibility tests x x = 150 Remember this question… 2 These must multiply to make 75
- 33. Divisibility tests x x = 150 Remember this question… 2 Test 75 for divisibility
- 34. Divisibility tests x x = 150 Remember this question… 2 75 is divisible by 3 and 5 among others (pick either for second box).
