Divisibility by 10
Rule: "A number is divisible by 10 if it ends with zero."
For example, 37860 is divisible by 10 as it ends with zero, while 791568 is not divisible by 10 as it does not end with zero.
When using the calculator to confirm the results, we obtain 37860 ÷ 10 = 3786, while 791568 ÷ 10 = 79156.8.
Obviously, a number divisible by 10 is also divisible by 5 and 2.
Example 2
Check whether the following number are divisible by 7, 8, 9 and 10.
- 105,840
- 6,170,247
Solution 2
- 105,840 IS divisible by 7 because 2 × 0 - 10,584 = -10,584 ÷ 7 = 1512. If we are not sure about the last division, we repeat again the same procedure until we obtain a suitable number. Hence, we have to check whether 10,584 is divisible by 7 (forget the minus), i.e. 2 × 4 - 1058 = -1050. Again, 2 × 0 - 105 = -105. Finally, 2 × 5 - 10 = 0. Now we are sure that the original number is divisible by 7.
105,840 IS divisible by 8 because 840 ÷ 8 = 105.
105,840 IS divisible by 9 because 1 + 0 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 0 = 18 ÷ 9 = 2.
105,840 IS divisible by 10 because it ends with 0. - 6,170,247 is NOT divisible by 7. Let's check this by following the known procedure (multiplying the last digit by 2 and subtracting the rest of the original number from it) a number of times until we obtain a suitable result. We have 2 × 7 - 617,024 = -617,010, then 2 × 0 - 61,701 = -61701, then 2 × 1 - 6170 = -6168, then 2 × 8 - 616 = -600, then 2 × 0 - 60 = -60, which is not a number divisible by 7.
6,170,247 is NOT divisible by 8 because 247 is not divisible by 8 as it is an odd number.
6,170,247 IS divisible by 9 as 6 + 1 + 7 + 0 + 2 + 4 + 7 = 27, which is a number divisible by 9.
6,179,247 is NOT divisible by 10, as it does not end with zero.
