6 Because its prime factorization is 2 x 3, it should be divisible by those two numbers. Is 4,044 divisible by 6?
4,044 is even, so it is divisible by 2.
4 + 4 + 4 is 12, so it is divisible by 3.
Therefore, 4,044 is indeed a multiple of 6.
7 Take the last digit of the number, multiply it by two, and then subtract it to the remaining digits of the number. Repeat the process until the result can be easily identified.

Another strategy is to add 5 times the last digit to the remaining digits instead.
Is 3,409 is divisible by 7?
First, take 9 from 3409, and multiply 9 by 2 (9*2=18).
Then, subtract the doubled digit to the remaining digits. (340-18=322)
Repeat the process: take 2 from 322 and multiply it by 2 (2*2=4).
Subtract the doubled digit to the remaining number (32-4=28)
28 is divisible by 7, so 3,409 is also divisible by 7.
8 It is very simple, check whether the last three digits of the number is divisible by 8, if it is, then the number is divisible by 8. Is the number 7,377,473,496 divisible by 8?
First, Take the last three digits of the number.
The last three digit is 496, so check whether it is divisible by 8.
496 is divisible by 8. Therefore, 7,377,473,496 is divisible by 8.
9 Add all the digits together. Then, instead of checking divisibility of 3, check if it is the multiple of 9. Is 14625 divisible by 9?
Add all the digits together: 1 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 18
18 is divisible by 9, so 14625 is, too.
10 If the last digit of the number is 0, it is divisible by 10. 158,375,209,580 is divisible by 10 because the last digit is 0.

11 If the difference of sum of digits at odd places and sum of digits at even places is 0 or divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11. Is 527,901 divisible by 11?
First, Add the digits at odd places. (5+7+0=12)
Add the digits at even places. (2+9+1=12)
Subtract both sums. (12-12=0)
The result is 0, so 527,901 is divisible by 11.
12 Because its prime factorization is 22 x 3, the number needs to be divisible by 4 and 3. 9,180 ends in 80 (4*20), so it is divisible by 4. The sum of all digits is 18, so it is divisible by 3. Therefore, 9,180 is a multiple of 12.
13 Take the last digit of the number, multiply it by four, and then add it to the remaining digits of the numbers. Repeat the process until the result can be easily identified.

Alternatively, subtracting 9 times the last digit to the remaining digits is also a viable strategy.
Take 85,969 for example.
Take out 9 from 85969 and multiply it by four. (9 x 4 = 36)
Add it to the remaining digits. (8596 + 36 = 8632)
Take out 2 from 8632 and multiply it by four. (2 x 4 = 8)
Add it to the remaining digits. (863 + 8 = 871)
Take out 1 from 871 and multiply it by four. (1 x 4 = 4)
Add it to the remaining digits. (87 + 4 = 91)
91 is divisible by 13, so 85,969 is also divisible by 13.
14 As 14 is the product of 2 and 7, perform divisibility checks of both 2 and 7. For the number 745,514:
It is divisible by 2, since it is an even number.
Perform divisibility check of 7.Divisibility of 7:
Take away the last digit of the number, multiply it by 2, and subtract it from
the remaining digits. Repeat the process until the result can be determined.
Example: For the number 745,514,
1. Take the last digit of the number and multiply it by 2. (4 x 2 = 8)
2. Subtract that number from the rest of the digits. (74551 - 8 = 74543)
3. Repeat the process. (7454 - 3 x 2 = 7448)
4. Continue until the results can be determined. (744 - 8 x 2 = 728)
5. The result is should be divisible by 7. (72 - 8 x 2 = 56)

56 is divisible by 7. Therefore, 745,514 is divisible by 14.
15 Check if the number is divisible by 3 and 5. Take 2,955, for example, the sum of all digits is 21, and the last digit of the number is 5. Therefore, 2,955 is divisible by 15.
16 Similar to divisibility by 8, except check if the last 4 digits are divisible by 16 rather than the last 3. 2,295,632 is divisible by 16, because the last 4 digits is 5,632.
17 Take the last digit of the number, multiply it by five, and then subtract it to the remaining digits of the numbers. Repeat the process until the result can be easily identified. Take 59,789 for example.
Take out 9 from 59789 and multiply it by five. (9 x 5 = 45)
Subtract it from the remaining digits. (5978 - 45 = 5933)
Continue repeating the same steps. (593 - 3 x 5 = 578; 57 - 8 x 5 = 17)
17 is divisible by 17, so 59,789 is also divisible by 17.
18 Because its prime factorization is 2 x 32, the number needs to be divisible by 2 and 9. 671,634 is an even number, and the sum of all digits is 27. Therefore, 671,634 is divisible by 18.
19 Take the last digit of the number, multiply it by two, and then add it to the remaining digits of the numbers. Repeat the process until the result can be easily identified. Take 3,971 for example.
Take out 1 from 3971 and multiply it by two. (1 x 2 = 2)
Add it to the remaining digits. (397 + 2 = 399)
Continue repeating the same steps. (39 + 9 x 2 = 57)
57 is divisible by 19, so 3,971 is also divisible by 19.
20 Check the last 2 digits: They should end in 20, 40, 60, 80, or 00. 46,186,940 is divisible by 20 because the last 2 digits is divisible by 20.

It is divisible by 2, since it is an even number.
Perform divisibility check of 13.Divisibility of 13:
Similar to divisibility of 7, but this time, take away the last digit of the number,
multiply it by 4, and add it to the remaining digits. Then repeat the process.
Example: For the number 2,216,734,
1. Take the last digit of the number and multiply it by 4. (4 x 4 = 16)
2. Add that number to the rest of the digits. (221673 + 16 = 221689)
3. Repeat the process. (22168 + 9 x 4 = 22204)

4. Continue until the results can be determined. (2220 + 4 x 4 = 2236)
5. The result should be divisible by 13. (223 + 6 x 4 = 247)
6. (24 + 7 x 4 = 52)

Alternatively, the alternating sum method can be used instead. First, group
the numbers of three from right to left. Then alternate between subtraction
and addition. Then apply the above method to determine its divisibility of 13.
Example: For number 107,359,993,
1. The alternating sum is 993 - 359 + 107 = 741
2. Examine the result. Use the 1st method again to reduce the digits if needed.

the remaining digits. Repeat the process until the result can be determined.
Example: For the number 457,772,
1. Take the last digit of the number and multiply it by 2. (2 x 2 = 4)
2. Subtract that number from the rest of the digits. (45777 - 4 = 45773)
3. Repeat the process. (4577 - 3 x 2 = 4571)
4. Continue until the results can be determined. (457 - 1 x 2 = 455)
5. The result is should be divisible by 7. (45 - 5 x 2 = 35)

35 is divisible by 7. Therefore, 457,772 is divisible by 28.
29 To check if a number is divisible by 29, take off the last digit, triple it, and then add it to the rest of the digits. Take 105,299, for example:
Take out 9 from 105,299 and multiply it by three. (9 x 3 = 27)
Add it from the remaining digits. (10529 + 27 = 10556)
Repeat the same steps. (1055 + 6x3 = 1073; 107 + 3x3 = 116)
116 is divisible by 29, so 105,299 is also divisible by 29.
