DIVISIBILITY RULES FOR
2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11 and 12

DISTRICT LEARNING FACILITATOR

At the end of the session, the
participants are expected to:
- Recall the rules on divisibility of a
given number
- Use the factors and multiples of a
number in solving the problem
- Apply the steps in solving
problems
Review Divisibility rules on 2,5 and 10

*A number is divisible by 2 if the number is an even

number, that is, if the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

*A number ending in 0 or 5 is divisible by 5.

*A number ending in 0 is divisible by 10.

Review Divisibility rules on 3,6 and 9

*• A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all the digits

is divisible by 3
• A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both
2 and 3, that is, the number is an even number and
the sum of its digits is divisible by 6.
• A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of all the
digits is divisible by 9.
Review Divisibility rules on 4,8,11 and 12

• A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by

the last two digits in a number is divisible by 4, the
original/ or given number is divisible by 4. Also, a
number ending with two zeros is always divisible by 4.

• A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by

the last 3 digits is divisible by 8. Also, a number ending
in three zeroes is divisible by 8.
Review Divisibility rules on 4,8,11 and 12

• A number is divisible by 11 if the sum of the digits in

the odd places and the sum of the digits in the even
places are equal or their difference is a multiple of 11.

• A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3

and 4

Let’s do this!

Delfin is willing to give a reward to

whoever guesses his age this year. His
clues states that his age is divisible by
12 and is a multiple of 9, and that he is
less than 51 years old. How old is
Delfin?
Steps in solving 1. Understand:
problem:

What is asked in the problem?

∙ The age of Delfin this year
What are the given facts?
∙ Age is divisible by 12
∙ Age is multiple of 9
*Age is less than 51
Steps in solving 2. Plan:
problem:

What strategy is used to solve the

problem?
Since there are just a few numbers
less than 51 which are divisible by 12
and multiples 9, we will use Listing
Method and Elimination.

problem:

We .check if the answer satisfies the clues

given by Delfin.
∙ 36 is divisible by12
∙ 36 is multiple of 9
∙ 36 is less than 51
Since the clues given by Delfin are met, then
we conclude that the answer is correct.
