Question

Which of the following number is divisible by 6 ?

a) 45,569

b) 32898

c) 12345

d) 23456

​

Answer 1

• The divisibility rule for 6 is that the number should be divisible by both 2 and 3

For divisibility by 2 the number must be even( that means the last number of the digit must be 0,2,4,6,8) and for divisibility by 3 the sum of digits must be the multiple of 3

• Now, For the number 45,569: The number is not even, so it is not divisible by 2. The sum of digits is not the multiple of 3.

      So, this number is not divisible by 6.

• For the number 32898 : It is an even number, so it is divisible by 2

3+2+8+9+8 = 30

3+0 = 3

It is a multiple of 3, so it is divisible by 3.

As 32898 is divisible by both 2 and 3 , it is divisible by 6

The correct answer will be option b.

Answer 2
