Question

How to identify a number is divisible by 12?

Answer 1

We can find the number by multiplying 12 with any number

Answer 2

Answer:

If the number is divisible by both  3  and  4, the number is divisible by  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number 12

To find : How to identify a number is divisible by 12?

Solution :

Divisibility of 12,

12 has two factors,

$12=3\times 4$

If the number is divisible by both  3  and  4, the number is divisible by  12

Divisibility rule of  3 is the sum of digits is divisible by  3

Divisibility rule of  4 is that last two digits are divisible by  4

Then, We say that number is divisible by 12.

For example, Number 168

First, To check if it is divisible by 3.

We add its digits: 1 + 6 + 8 = 15.

Since 15 is divisible by 3, 168 is also divisible by 3.

To check if it is divisible by 4.

We divide its last 2 digits by 4. 68/4 = 17.

Since there is no remainder, 68 is divisible by 4.

168 is also divisible by 4.

Since, 168 is divisible by both 3 and 4, 168 is also divisible by 12.
