Module 1
Basic Properties of
Divisibility
• If a|b and b|c, then a|c
• If a|b, then for any integer x, a|bx.
• If a|b, and a|c, then a|(b+c) and a|
(b-c)

The units digit (last digit) is even.
3
3
The sum of the digit is divisible by
3.
4
4
The last two digits form a number
divisible by 4.
5
5
The units digit (last digit) is 0 or 5.
6
6
The number is divisible by both 2
and 3.

To find out if a number is divisible
by seven, take the last digit, double
it, and subtract it from the rest of
the number. If you get an answer
divisible by 7 (including zero), then
the original number is divisible by
7. If you don’t know the new

The (sum of the odd numbered
digits) – (sum of the even

The number is divisible by both 3
and 4.
13

Delete the last digit from the
number, then subtract 9 times the
deleted digit from the remaining
number. If the difference is divisible
13, then so is the original number.
