Answer:
Divisibility rule of 6 - The number should be divisible by both 2 and 3
The number is divisible by 2 as it ends with 8
The number is not divisible by 3 as the sum of its digit is a not a multiple of 3 = 1+2+5+8 = 16
Thus, the number 6 is not divisible by 2 and 3
So no, the cakes cant be kept in each packages

No because the divisibility rule of 6 is that if the number is 2 and 3 but 1258 is divisible by 2 but not by 3
