use the divisibility test determine whether the following is divisible by 11 5896 is divisible by 11​

Answer 1

Given:

5896

What to do?

Find out whether it is divisible by 11.

How to do?

To find out whether the number is divisble by 11, we have find that whether the difference of the positions of odd and even digits is 0 or divisible by 11.

Solution:

5896

Using the divisibility rule of 11,

The odd places = 6 and 8

Add the numbers,

⇒ 6 + 8 = 14

The even places = 9 and 5

Add the numbers,

⇒ 9 + 5 = 14

Now subtract the sum of odd and even places,

⇒ 14 - 14 = 0

∴ Since the difference is 0 it is divisible by 11.
