Rules for Multiples

Using the Prime Climb gameboard to help us discover a rule for the 4s!


Here are all the divisibilty rules we know so far:

A number is divisible by 2 if it is even.

A number is divisible by 4 if you halve it and get an even number.


A number is divisible by 3 if the digits add up to 3, 6, or 9.

A number is divisible by 6 if it is even and the digits add up to 3, 6, or 9.

A number is divisible by 9 if the digits add up to 9.


A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5.

A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.
