- For a number to be divisible by 2 the units digit of the number should not end with 1, 3, 5, 7, OR 9. In all the other cases the number is divisible by 2.
- A number is said to be divisible by 3 if the sum of the individual digits of the number is divisible by 3.
- Consider the number 7224.
=> 7224 is divisible by 2 as the units digit is even.
