THE COMMON FACTORS.
Lesson 3
 Is 116divisible by 4?
If the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4, then the original
number is divisible by 4
Solution:
16 ÷ 4 = 4

Therefore 116 is divisible 4.

 DIVISIBILITY RULE FOR 4
• A number is divisible by 4 if…

• The last 2 digits of the number is divisible by 4.

• Examples
• 9,264
• 1,209,124
• 216
 Is 1 248 divisible by 8?
If the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8,
then the original number is divisible by 8.
Solution:
The last three digits of 1 248 are 248. 248 ÷ 8 = 31

Therefore, 1 248 is divisible by 8.That is 1 248 divided 8 is 156.

 DIVISIBILITY RULE FOR 8
• A number is divisible by 8 if…

• The last 3 digits of the number are divisible by 8.

• Examples
• 9,808
• 8,942,216
• 848
 Is 671 divisible by 11?
• The number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of
the digits in the odd places and the sum of those the even
places is 0 or divisible by 11.
• Solution
(the alternate digits of 671 are 6 and 1 whose sum is 6 + 1 = 7
the remaining digit is 7. The difference of two is 7 – 7 = 0 which
is divisible by 11.
So the original number 671 is divisible by 11. That is 671 ÷ 11 = 61
 DIVISIBILITY RULE FOR 11
• A number is divisible by 11 if…

• the difference of the sum of the digits in the odd places and the sum of those in the even places is
0 or divisible by 11

• Examples
•
24145
4+ 4= 8 2+1+5=8, 8-8=0
• 50248
8+ 2+ 5= 15 0+4+=, 15-4=11
 Is 671 divisible by 11?
• If a number is divisible by 11, you have to first check if it
is divisible by 3 and 4.
(the alternate digits of 671 are 6 and 1 whose sum is 6 + 1 = 7
the remaining digit is 7. The difference of two is 7 – 7 = 0 which
is divisible by 11.

So the original number 671 is divisible by 11. That is 671 ÷ 11 = 61

 DIVISIBILITY RULE FOR 12
• A number is divisible by 12 if…

• A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4.

• Examples
• 240, 612
• 1716
