The following are the divisibility rules for numbers from 2 through 10. It is helpful to know these rules because it saves time when doing calculations involving division.

****************************************
A NUMBER IS DIVISIBLE BY

2
If the last digit is even

3
If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3

4
If the last two digits form a number which is divisible by 4

5
If the last digit is a 5 or a 0

6
If the number is divisible by both 3 and 2

OR

If the unit digit (last digit) is even and the sum of the digits form a number divisible by 3

7

Take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the number;
if the answer is divisible by 7 (including 0),

8
[b] If the last three digits form a number divisible by 8

9
If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9

10
If the number ends in 0
