Does 6 go evenly into 35? - Answers

No. To be divisible by 6 the number must be divisible by both 2 and 3. To be divisible by 2, the last digit of the number must be even (ie one of {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}). The last digit of 35 is 5 which is not even and so 35 is not divisible by 2. To be divisible by 3, sum the digits of the number and if this sum is divisible by 3 then so is the original number. As the test can be applied to the sum, repeatedly summing the digits of the sums until a single digit remains, then the original number is divisible by 3 only if this single digit is one of {3, 6, 9}. For 35 3 + 5 = 8 which is not divisible by 3 (nor is is one of {3, 6, 9}, thus 35 is not divisible by 3. As 35 is not divisible by both 2 and 3 (in fact it is divisible by neither 2 nor 3) it is not divisible by 6.
