How is understanding factors help you write divisibility rules? - Answers

It's not completely necessary to know the factors if the number ends in 1, 3, 7 or 9. You can sum or subtract a certain number of times the last digit by the rest of the number if the number ends in 1, 3, 7 or 9. However I think it's required to factorize the number if it ends in 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 or 8. Here are the divisibility rules of every number from 1 to 50 1: Every number is a multiple of 1 2: The number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 3: The sum of the digits is a multiple of 3 4: The last 2 digits are a multiple of 4 The 10s digit is even and the last digit is 0, 4 or 8 The 10s digit is odd and the last digit is 2 or 6 5: The number ends in 0 or 5 6: The number is a multiple of 2 and 3 at the same time 7: The difference between twice the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 7 8: The last 3 digits are a multiple of 8 The 100s digit is even and the last 2 digits are a multiple of 8 The 100s digit is odd and the last 2 digits are 4 times an odd number 9: The sum of the digits is a multiple of 9 10: The number ends in 0 11: The difference between the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 11 12: The number is a multiple of 3 and 4 at the same time 13: The sum of 4 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 13 14: The number is a multiple of 2 and 7 at the same time 15: The number is a multiple of 3 and 5 at the same time 16: The last 4 digits are a multiple of 16 The 1,000s digit is even and the last 3 digits are a multiple of 16 The 1,000s digit is odd and the last 3 digits are 8 times an odd number 17: The difference between 5 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 17 18: The number is a multiple of 2 and 9 at the same time 19: The sum of twice the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 19 20: The number ends in 00, 20, 40, 60 or 80 21: The difference between twice the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 21 22: The number is a multiple of 2 and 11 at the same time 23: The sum of 7 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 23 24: The number is a multiple of 3 and 8 at the same time 25: The number ends in 00, 25, 50 or 75 26: The number is a multiple of 2 and 13 at the same time 27: The difference between 8 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 27 28: The number is a multiple of 4 and 7 at the same time 29: The sum of thrice the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 29 30: The number is a multiple of 3 and 10 at the same time 31: The difference between thrice the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 31 32: The last 5 digits are a multiple of 32 The 10,000s digit is even and the last 4 digits are a multiple of 32 The 10,000s digit is odd and the last 4 digits are 16 times an odd number 33: The sum of 10 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 33 34: The number is a multiple of 2 and 17 at the same time 35: The number is a multiple of 5 and 7 at the same time 36: The number is a multiple of 4 and 9 at the same time 37: The difference between 11 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 37 38: The number is a multiple of 2 and 19 at the same time 39: The sum of 4 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 39 40: The last 3 digits are a multiple of 40 The 100s digit is even and the last 2 digits are 00, 40 or 80 The 100s digit is odd and the last 2 digits are 20 or 60 41: The difference between 4 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 41 42: The number is a multiple of 2 and 21 at the same time 43: The sum of 13 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 43 44: The number is a multiple of 4 and 11 at the same time 45: The number is a multiple of 5 and 9 at the same time 46: The number is a multiple of 2 and 23 at the same time 47: The difference between 14 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 47 48: The number is a multiple of 3 and 16 at the same time 49: The sum of 5 times the last digit and the rest of the number is a multiple of 49 50: The number ends in 00 or 50
