I. Concept Note
Divisibility by 4: A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits of a number are divisible
by 4. Also, numbers ending in two zeros are divisible by 4.
Example: 212 has last two digits 12. Since 12 is divisible by 4, 212 is divisible by 4.
700 ends with two zeros, so it is divisible by 4.
Divisibility by 8: A number is divisible by 8. If its last 3 digits are divisible by 8. Also, a
number ending in three zeros are also divisible by 8
Example: 9216 has last three digits 216. Since 216 is divisible by 8, that means 9216 is
divisible by 8.
Divisibility by 12: A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4.
Example: 1092 has sum of digits 12, which is divisible by 3, 1092 has last two digits 92,
which is divisible by 4. Since 1092 is divisible by both 3 and 4, it is
divisible by 12.
Divisibility by 11: A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of alternative
digits of a number is divisible by 11 and if the sum of the digits in
the odd places and the sum of the digits in the even places are equal.
Example: 1.) 1364 (+1 -3 +6 -4=0), since 1+6=7 and -3-4=7 are equal, that means 1364 is
divisible by 11.
2.) 3729 (+3 -7 + 2 -9= -11), in here 3+2= 5 and -7-9= -16, the difference
between -16+5=-11, hence 3729 is divisible by 11.
