Divisibility for 24
- If the number is separately divisible by 3 and 8 then the number is divisible by 24. This would work because 3 and 8 are relatively prime to each other, meaning that they don’t share any factor other than 1.
- For example, 29,616 is divisible by 24 because it is divisible by both 3 and 8. However, 29,619 is not divisible by 24 because although it is divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 8
- Remember, both conditions must be met for the number to be divisible by 24.
