Tests for Divisibility of Numbers
In order to find whether a given number is divisible by another number, we perform actual division and see whether the remainder is zero or not. Up till now, we were using this procedure to check whether a number is divisible by another number or not. But this process is time consuming. There are certain tests for divisibility of numbers by any of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 such that by simply examining the digits of the given number, one can easily determine whether a given number is divisible by any of these numbers or not.
Class 6 Maths Exercise 3.7 Extra Questions with Answer
Can two numbers have 24 as their HCF and 200 as their LCM? Give reasons in support of your answer?
According the property, the HCF of given numbers is always a factor of their LCM. Here if we divide 200 by 24, the answer is not a whole number. Hence there are no two such numbers which HCF is 24 and LCM is 200.
Find the HCF and LCM of the following pairs of numbers: 220, 376.
HCF of 220, 376 is
Factors of 220 are 2 x 2 x 5 x 11
And factors of 376 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 47
Hence, HCF is 4
Now LCM of 220 and 376 is
| 2 | 220, 376 |
| 2 | 110, 188 |
| 2 | 55, 94 |
| 5 | 55, 47 |
| 11, 47 |
LCM of 220 and 376 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 47 = 20680
define the fifth property of HCF and LCM. Give reasons in support of your answer.
If a number, say a, is a factor of another number, say b, then HCF of a and b is a and their LCM is b
We assume a = 3 and b = 12
Factor of 3 are 1 x 3
And factors of 12 are 4 x 3
Hence, HCF is 3
And LCM is 3 x 4 = 12
Let us learn about these tests
| Test of Divisibility by | Condition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | A number is divisible by 2, if its 26, 242, 780, 1540 etc.are divisible last digit is even or 0. | 26, 242, 780, 1540 etc.are divisible by 2. |
| 3 | A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. | In 5049:5 + 0 + 4 + 9 = 18 which is divisible by 3 and in 5232 :5 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 12 which is also divisible by 3. |
| 4 | A number is divisible by 4, if the number formed by the last two digits is a multiple of 4 or divisible by 4. | 516, 868, 1064, 123572 etc. are all divisible by 4. |
| 5 | A number is divisible by 5, if the digit at its unit place is either 5 or 0. | 150, 1345, 36590, 29395 etc. are all divisible by 5. |
| 6 | A number is divisible by 6, if the number is divisible by 2 and 3. | 360, 2358, 5922, 10014 etc.are all divisible by 6. |
| Test of Divisibility by | Condition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | A number is divisible by 7, if the difference between twice the last digit and the number formed by other digits is either 0 or a multiple of 7. | Consider 1267.Last digit = 7.Twice the last digit = 14.Number formed by other digits = 126.Difference = 126 – 14 = 112 which is a multiple of 7. so, 1267 is divisible by 7. |
| 8 | A number is divisible by 8, if the number formed by its last three digits is divisible by 8. | Consider 3128.Number formed by last 3 digits = 128, which is divisible by 8. so, 3128 is divisible by 8. |
| 9 | A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. | The number 2718 is divisible by 9 as 2 + 7 + 1 + 8 = 18 is divisible by 9. |
| 10 | A number is divisible by 10, if the last digit (i.e., the digit at unit’s place) is 0. | 320, 850, 91380 etc.are all divisible by 10. |
| 11 | A number is divisible by 11, if the difference between the sums of alternate digits is 0 or a multiple of 11. | Consider 2162215.Sum of digits in odd places is = 2 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 15. Sum of digits in even places = 1 + 2 + 1 = 4.Difference = 15 – 4 = 11. The number is divisible by 11 |
