Worksheet on Divisibility Rules – Printable Questions and Answers

This worksheet on divisibility rules is designed for students who are learning how to check whether a number is divisible by another number without performing long division. It is suitable for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 and provides useful practice with divisibility tests.

The worksheet covers divisibility rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. Students will practice identifying numbers that are divisible by a given number, finding missing digits, applying divisibility rules, and solving more challenging problems. The questions begin with basic practice and gradually move to more advanced divisibility problems.

This printable divisibility rules worksheet can be used for classroom practice, homework, revision, or independent learning. Learning divisibility rules helps students work with factors, multiples, prime numbers, HCF, and LCM more easily. An answer key is provided at the end so students can check their answers after completing the worksheet.

Divisibility Rules and Examples:

Divisibility by 2:

A number is divisible by 2, if the digit at ones place is an even number, that is the number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. For example, 100, 222, 344, 1658 are divisible by 2.

Divisibility by 3:

A number is divisible by 3, if sum of all its digits is divisible by 3. Let us check if 27648 is divisible by 3. Sum of digits = 2 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 27; 27 ÷ 3 = 9. Hence 27648 is exactly divisible by 3.

Divisibility by 4:

A number is divisible by 4, if the number formed by its last 2 digits is divisible by 4. Let us check if 1124 is divisible by 4. Number formed by last 2 digits 24 is divisible by 4.

Divisibility by 5:

A number is divisible by 5, if it ends in 0 or 5. For example 100, 225, 605, 8000, 9925 are divisible by 5.

Divisibility by 6:

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

Rule:

• The last digit must be 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
• The sum of the digits must be divisible by 3.

Divisibility by 7:

Double the last digit and subtract it from the number formed by the remaining digits. If the result is 0 or divisible by 7, the original number is divisible by 7.

Divisibility by 8:

A number is divisible by 8 if its last three digits form a number that is divisible by 8.

Divisibility by 9:

A number is divisible by 9, if sum of its digits is divisible by 9. Let us check if 16911 is divisible by 9.

Sum of digits = 1 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 1 = 18. It is exactly divisible by 9.

Divisibility by 10:

All numbers ending in 0 are divisible by 10. For example 8000, 9010, 11020, 98670 are divisible by 10.

Divisibility by 11:

A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sums of alternate digits is 0 or a multiple of 11.
