what is the divisibility rule of 8 and 11 .please tell me. is there any shortcut
Answers
Answer:
Divisibility by 8
If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8.
Example: Take number 24344. Consider the last two digits i.e. 344. As 344 is divisible by 8, the original number 24344 is also divisible by 8.
DIVISIBILITY BY 11
If the difference of the sum of alternative digits of a number is divisible by 11 then that number is divisible by 11 completely.
In order to check whether a number like 2143 is divisible by 11 following is the procedure.
Group the alternative digits i.e. digits which are in odd places together and digits in even places together. Here 24 and 13 are two groups.
Take the sum of the digits of each group i.e. 2+4=6 and 1+3= 4
Now find the difference of the sums; 6-4=2
If the difference is divisible by 11, then the original number is also divisible by 11. Here 2 is the difference which is not divisible by 11.
Therefore, 2143 is not divisible by 11.
