NUMBER SYSTEM
DIVISIBILITY RULES
Divisibility by 2: Unit place is 0 or even number.

23570
8 8 Divisible by 2
2
49778
Divisibility by 3: Sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
7329753

7 + 3 + 2 + 9+ 7 + 5 + 3
= 36 divisible by 3

Divisibility by 4: Last two digits of the number is

0 or both divisible by 4.

7329700 = 1832425

4783764 = 1195941

Divisibility by 5: Last digit of the number is 0 or 5.

8768960 = 1753792

6789095 = 1357819

Divisibility by 7 , 11 , 13

If the difference of the last three digits of a number and remaining

digits is divisible by 7 ,11, and 13 .

992 - 33 =
= 137
= 4856

Note: That rule is applicable at least 4 digits number

RELATION BETWEEN DIVIDEND, DIVISOR, QUOTIENT AND

REMAINDER
 Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
Dividend  Re mainder
 Or, Divisor = Quatient
CONCEPT OF REMAINDER
(1  a ) n
 If Gives always remainder 1.
a

an
 If Gives remainder 1, when n even.
a 1

an
 If Gives remainder a, when n odd.
a 1

an
 a 1
Gives always remainder 1.

Ex: A number, when divided by 2736, gives 75 as the remainder. If the

same number is divided by 24 what will be the remainder?
Sol. 24 is Factor of 2736
So 75 ÷ 24 remainder 2

Ex: Find the remainder when (719 + 2) is divided by 6 what will be the
remainder?

Sol.    2 , so remainder = 1 + 2 = 3
19
7
6 6

an
a 1
Gives always remainder 1

Ex: What is the remainder when (1537+ 2337) is divided by 19?

Sol. an + bn is divisible by (a + b), when n is odd.
∴ (1537 + 2337) is divisible by 38
It is also divisible by 19
Remainder is = 0
Ex: A number when divided by 315 leaves remainder 46 and the value
of quotient is 7. Find the number.
Sol. Number = (Divisor ×Quotient) + remainder
Number = (315 × 7) + 46 = 2251
Ex: Two numbers when divided by a certain divisor give remainders
473 and 298, respectively. When their sum is divided by the same
divisor (Sum of remainder is always greater than divisor), the
remainder is 236. Find the divisor.
Sol. Divisor = r1 + r2 − r3
Divisor = 473 + 298 – 236 = 535

Ex: If 738A6A is divisible by 11, then .Find the value of A?

Sol: (7+ 8 + 6) − (3 + A + A) = 0
21- 3 – 2A , 2A = 18,
A=9

Ex: Which number will completely divide the expression?
571 + 572 + 573.
Sol = 571 + 572 + 573
= 571(1 + 5 + 52)
= 571 x 31
It is clearly divisible by 5 , 31 and 155
