Divisibility Rules from 2 to 25 with Example Questions

The divisibility rules allow you to test the divisibility of a number and ease the calculations while dividing large numbers. When you are preparing for competitive exams such as Bank, Railways, and other government exams, the time is crucial and limited.

In such a case, having a good knowledge of these rules of divisibility may help answer the questions without spending extra time. With the divisibility rule, you can quickly check which number is divisible by a number without performing the division.

In today’s tutorial, you will learn how to test divisibility for numbers and see if they are divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, and other numbers.

So, let’s get started with the rules that allow you to find the divisibility by any number between 2 to 25.

Divisibility rule of 2

If a number has 2,4,6,8, or 0 in its unit place, then the number is divisible by 2. Hence, to test the divisibility by 2, you need to check only the unit place digit and proceed with the divisible.

Note: All the even numbers are divisible by 2.

Examples,

• 214339 is not divisible by 2 because it has does not has 2,4,6,8, or 0 in the unit place.
• 569958 is divisible by 2 because it has 8 in the unit place.
