Question

3) Check whether the number 40824 is divisible by 11 or 6 or is it divisible by both ?

Answer 1

Answer:

40824

Divisibility by 11

sum of even digit places

2+0= 2

sum of odd digit places

4+8+4=16

difference = 16-2 = 14

14 is not divisible by 11

so the number 40824 is not divisible by 11

Divisibility by 6

the number to be divisible by 6 should be divisible by 2 and 3

sum of the digits = 4+0+8+2+4 = 18

so divisible by 3

it is also divisible by 2

so the number 40824 is divisible by 6
