 Division Algorithms
1) If a and b are integers ; b>0
then there exist unique integer q and r satisfying
a=qb+r; 0≤ r ≤ b

where q and r are called quotient and remainders in the

division of a by b.
2) If a and b are integers ; b<0
then there exist unique integer q and r satisfying
a=qb+r; 0≤ r ≤ |b|

where q and r are called quotient and remainders in the

division of a by b.
 Divisibility rules of 2,4,8
2 – Last digit is even (0,2,4,6,8)

4- Last two digits are divisible by 4 (124, 123456,

23468)

8- Last three digits are divisible by 8 (123488, 1234888)

 Divisibility rules of 3, 9
3 – Sum of the digits is divisibly by 3

9 – Sum of the digits is divisible by 9

Divisibility rules of 6
Divisibility rule of 6:

If a number is divisible by 2 and 3,it is divisible by 6

 Divisibility rules of 7
Take the last digit and double it, subtract that from the remaining
digits, continue until you get a number that is divisible by 7.

Example: 442
Take the last digit and double it, 2*2 = 4

44 – 4 = 40

Is 40 a multiple of 7?No, hence , 442 is not divisible by 7

Divisibility rules of 11
 Divisibility rules of Prime Numbers: 13
Take the last digit and multiply by 4 , Add the product to the rest
of the number

Example: 442
Take the last digit and double it, 2*4 =8

44 + 8 = 52

Is 52 a multiple of 13? Yes, hence ,442 is divisible by 13.
