Question

Using divisibility rule find whether the given number 23,512 is a multiple of 6.

Answer 1

Answer

A number is divisible by 6 if  the number is divisible 2 and 3

Now first you need to divide by 2 and 3

It is divisible by 2

It is not divisible by 3

So, 23516 is not a multiple of 6

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 both

If the unit's place of the given number is either 0 or multiple of 2, it is considered that it is divisible by 2.

So, 23,512 is divisible by 2

A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3 or divisible by 3

2 + 3 + 5 + 1 + 2 = 13

13 isn't divisible by 3

Thus, 23,512 is not a multiple of 6 !
