Introduction:
"Is 21 divisible by 7? That's easy. But is 1696968 divisible by 7? Looks like a tougher nut to crack. But it isn't... This quiz will introduce you to a few basic divisibility rules. My approach here is practical, rather than theoretical."


1. How can one tell if an integer is divisible by 6?
    The last digit is even and the sum of digits is divisible by 3

    The last digit is even and the sum of digits is divisible by 9
    The multiple of digits is even


2. Which of the following is a rule for divisibility by 4?
    The tens digit is even and the last digit is 0,4 or 8
    The number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4
    The tens digit is odd and the last digit is 2 or 6
    All three are valid
