1. The number should be divisible by both 2 and 3.
a) 297144
↪As the given number is an even number, it is divisible by 2
↪Sum of digits = 2 + 9 + 7 + 1 + 4 +4
= 27
As 27 is divisible by 3, 297144 is divisible by 3
↪ 297144 is divisible by 6
b) 1258
↪As the given number is an even number, it is divisible by 2
↪ Sum of digits = 1 + 2 + 5 + 8
= 16
As 16 is not divisible by 3, 1258 is not divisible by 3
↪ 1258 is not divisible by 6
