FOREWORD

This Self Learning Kit (SLK) is prepared for you by the Schools Division of Ilocos Sur
to ensure that learning continues despite of the CoViD-19 pandemic. This is aligned with the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in Mathematics of the Department of
Education.

You are expected to read, understand and think critically in solving and answering the
problems found on each lesson. Individual learning is highly encouraged however online
coaching by teachers can be done to help you and your parents or guardian in finishing this kit
successfully.

The different lessons are logically-explained and presented with illustrative examples
followed with daily tasks that you are expected to answer honestly on a separate sheet to be
submitted to your teacher on a specified day of the week.

I. Presentation of the Lesson

In this self learning kit, you should be able to learn the following:

 Divisibility Rules for 2, 5 and 10

 Divisibility Rules for 3, 6 and 9

II. Short Discussion

A. Divisibility rules for 2, 5 and 10
*Explain: The divisibility rules for 2,5 and 10 are grouped together because they all
require checking the ones digit of the whole number.

*Study the given table below:

Numbers Divisible by
2 5 10
10 8 30 25 40 60
18 72 90 315 80 70
34 14 100 45 50 140
238 36 35 75 100 250
28 506 85 660 110 500

A.1. Divisibility Rule for 2

A number is divisible by 2 if it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 or even numbers.

Example 1: Is 238 divisible by 2?

Yes, because the number ends in 8 and is an even number.
238 = Therefore, 238 is divisible by 2

Example 2: 860 is divisible by 2 since the number ends in 0

860

A.2. Divisibility Rule for 5

A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 0r 5.
 Example 3: Is 660 divisible by 5?
Yes, because the number ends in 0.
660 = Therefore, 660 is divisible by 5

Example 4: 315 is divisible by 5 because ends in 5.

315

A.3. Divisibility Rule for 10

A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.

Example 5. Is 530 divisible by 10?

Yes, because 530 ends in 0.
530

Example 6: The number 81 940 is divided by 10 because the number ends in 0.

81 940

B. Divisibility rules for 3, 6 AND 9

Explain: The divisibility rules for 3, 6 and 9 are grouped together because they
require computing the sum of the digits.

*Study the table below:

Numbers Divisible by
3 6 9
3 615 7 254 108
96 1 812 2 925
342 114 126 222 50 733

B.1. Divisibility Rule for 3

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all the digits is divisible by 3.
Example 7: Is 342 divisible by 3?
Solution:
3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ( Add all the digits )
9 ÷ 3 = 3 ( Divide the sum by 3 )

Therefore, 342 is divisible by 3 because the sum of all the digits which is 9 is
divisible by 3. That is, 342 divided by 3 is 114.

Example 8: The number 561 is divisible by 3 because 5 + 6 + 1 = 12, and 12 is

divisible by 3. To check, 561 divided by 3 is 187.

B.2. Divisibility Rule for 6

 A number is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it is divisible by 6.
A number is divisible by 6 if it is an even number and is divisible by 3.

Example 9: Is 126 divisible by 6?

Solution:
126 can be divided by 2 because the number ends in 6.
1 + 2 + 6 = 9 ( Add all the digits )
9 ÷ 3 = 3 ( Divide the sum by 3 )

Since 126 is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it is also divisible by 6.

Example 10: Is 176 divisible by 6? 176 ends in 6, indicating that it is

divisible by 2. However, 176 is not divisible by 3 since 1 + 7 + 6
= 14, and 14 is not divisible by 3. Therefore 176 is not divisible
by 6.

B.3. Divisibility Rule for 9

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of all the digits is divisible or a

mulitiple of 9.

Example 11: Is 135 divisible by 9?

Solution:
1 + 3 + 5 = 9 ( Add the digits )
9 ÷ 9 = 1 ( Divide the sum by 9 )

Therefore, 135 is divisible by 9. ( 135 ÷ 9 = 15 )

Example 12: The number 356 is not divisible by 9 because 3 + 5 + 6 = 14, and
14 is not divisible by 9 or 14 is not a multiple of 9.
