How Do You Check if a Number is Divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10?
Determine if 765 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10
Summary
- For any number to be divisible by 2, it must be even
- 765 is not even, so it is not divisible by 2
- For any number to be divisible by 3, its digits must add up to another number that's divisible by 3
- 765 is divisible by 3 because its digits add up to 18, a number divisible by 3
- For any number to be divisible by 5, it must end in a 0 or 5
- 765 ends in a 5!
- To be divisible by 6, a number must be divisible by 2 and 3
- 765 is not divisible by 2, so it's not divisible by 6
- To be divisible by 10, a number must end in a 0

Notes
-
- 765 is odd, so it is NOT divisible by 2
-

- So 765 IS divisible by 3
-
- 765 ends in a 5, so it IS divisible by 5
-
- 765 is divisible by 3 but not by 2, so it is NOT divisible by 6
-
- 765 does not end in 0, so it is NOT divisible by 10
