- Which of the two divisibility conditions is easier to test first? - What must be true of the ones digit for divisibility by \(2\)? - If one required condition can never be met, can the whole problem have a solution?

1. A number divisible by \(2\) must have an even ones digit. 2. The number \(5\square7\) ends in \(7\), so it is odd for every possible tens digit and can never be divisible by \(2\). 3. Because one required condition is impossible, no digit can make the number divisible by both \(2\) and \(3\).

No. The number always ends in the odd digit \(7\), so it can never be divisible by \(2\).

- Use the digit-sum rule for divisibility by \(3\). - List several multiples of \(6\) and examine their ones digits.

1. Statement a is false. The digit sum of \(11{,}111\) is \(1+1+1+1+1=5\), which is not divisible by \(3\). 2. Statement b is false. For example, \(12\div6=2\), so \(12\) is divisible by \(6\) even though its ones digit is \(2\).

a) False b) False

- Think about what happens to place values when dividing by \(100\). - Compare the last two digits of the numbers. - Look for a feature shared by every number that divides evenly by \(100\).

a) \(4800 \div 100 = 48\) \(12{,}000 \div 100 = 120\) \(30{,}500 \div 100 = 305\) b) A whole number is divisible by \(100\) when it ends in at least two zeros.

- Which final digits indicate divisibility by \(2\) or \(5\)? - How can the digit sum test divisibility by \(3\)? - For divisibility by \(4\), examine the last two digits.

1. A number divisible by \(2\) must be even, so the remaining choices are \(414\), \(424\), and \(450\). 2. For divisibility by \(3\), add the digits. The digit sums of \(414\) and \(450\) are both \(9\), so both are divisible by \(3\). 3. A number divisible by \(4\) has last two digits divisible by \(4\). Since \(14\) is not divisible by \(4\), \(414\) passes this condition. 4. A number divisible by \(5\) ends in \(0\) or \(5\). The number \(414\) ends in \(4\), so it is not divisible by \(5\). 5. Therefore, \(414\) satisfies all four conditions.

b) \(414\)

For divisibility by \(5\), the ones digit must be \(0\) or \(5\). The numbers are \(140,255,360,500,\) and \(750\). 3. The numbers appearing in both lists are \(140,360,\) and \(500\).

a) \(140,360,500,624\) b) \(140,255,360,500,750\) c) \(140,360,500\)

- Which two digits determine divisibility by \(4\)? - Do digits farther to the left affect divisibility by \(4\)? - List two-digit multiples of \(4\) that match the fixed digit pattern. - Can a number ending in \(18\) be divisible by \(4\)?

1. A number is divisible by \(4\) when the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by \(4\). 2. In part a, the last two digits are \(2\ast\). The multiples of \(4\) from \(20\) through \(29\) are \(20,24,\) and \(28\), so \(\ast\) can be \(0,4,\) or \(8\). 3. In part b, the last two digits are \(\ast6\). The possibilities are \(16,36,56,76,\) and \(96\), so \(\ast\) can be \(1,3,5,7,\) or \(9\). 4. In part c, the last two digits are \(\ast2\). The possibilities are \(12,32,52,72,\) and \(92\), so \(\ast\) can be \(1,3,5,7,\) or \(9\). 5. In part d, the last two digits are always \(18\), which is not divisible by \(4\). Therefore, no digit works.

a) \(0\), \(4\), or \(8\) b) \(1\), \(3\), \(5\), \(7\), or \(9\) c) \(1\), \(3\), \(5\), \(7\), or \(9\) d) No digit works because \(18\) is not divisible by \(4\).

- What must be true about every number divisible by \(4\)? - Can a number ending in \(7\) be a multiple of \(4\)? - Which even final digit could create a last-two-digit multiple of \(4\)?

1. Every number divisible by \(4\) is even. The number \(3\square7\) ends in \(7\), so it is odd regardless of the tens digit. Therefore, no digit can make it divisible by \(4\). 2. Replace \(7\) with an even digit, such as \(6\). 3. For \(3\square6\), choose \(\square=1\). The last two digits are \(16\), which is divisible by \(4\), so \(316\) is divisible by \(4\).

No digit works in \(3\square7\) because the number is odd. One possible change is \(3\square6\). Setting \(\square=1\) gives \(316\), which is divisible by \(4\).

- Which divisibility test uses the digit sum? - How does each possible box digit change the digit sum? - Could more than one digit work?

1. A number is divisible by \(3\) when its digit sum is divisible by \(3\). 2. The known digits have sum \(8+2=10\). 3. The sums \(10+2=12\), \(10+5=15\), and \(10+8=18\) are divisible by \(3\). 4. Therefore, the possible digits are \(2,5,\) and \(8\).

\(2,5,\) and \(8\)

- Recall the divisibility rule for \(9\). - First add the digits that are already known. - How much is needed to reach the next multiple of \(9\)?

1. A number is divisible by \(9\) when its digit sum is divisible by \(9\). 2. The known digits have sum \(3+7+5=15\). 3. The next multiple of \(9\) after \(15\) is \(18\), so the missing digit is \(18-15=3\). 4. The next possible digit sum, \(27\), would require a missing value of \(12\), which is not a digit. Thus \(3\) is the only possibility.

The missing digit is \(3\).

- Which possible ones digits make a number divisible by \(2\)? - Recall the divisibility rule for \(3\). - Test only the digits that satisfy the first condition.

1. For divisibility by \(2\), the missing ones digit must be even: \(0,2,4,6,\) or \(8\). 2. For divisibility by \(3\), the digit sum must be divisible by \(3\). The known digits have sum \(7+4=11\). 3. Testing the even digits gives sums \(11,13,15,17,\) and \(19\). Only \(15\) is divisible by \(3\), which occurs when the missing digit is \(4\). 4. Therefore, the only possible digit is \(4\).

\(4\)

- Does the leading digit affect divisibility by \(2\) when the ones digit is fixed? - Add the digits that are already known. - Which leading digits make the total a multiple of \(3\)? - Exclude \(0\) because the box is the leading digit.

1. The number ends in \(2\), so it is divisible by \(2\) for every possible leading digit. 2. For divisibility by \(3\), the digit sum must be divisible by \(3\). The known digits have sum \(1+5+2=8\). 3. Among the possible leading digits \(1\) through \(9\), the sums \(8+1=9\), \(8+4=12\), and \(8+7=15\) are divisible by \(3\). 4. Therefore, the possible digits are \(1,4,\) and \(7\).

\(1,4,\) and \(7\)

- First determine which tens digits make the final two digits divisible by \(4\). - Then test which of those digits make the full digit sum divisible by \(3\). - Which digits satisfy both conditions?

1. For divisibility by \(4\), the last two digits \(\square2\) must form a multiple of \(4\). This occurs for \(12,32,52,72,\) and \(92\), so the missing digit could be \(1,3,5,7,\) or \(9\). 2. For divisibility by \(3\), the digit sum \(2+5+\square+2=9+\square\) must be divisible by \(3\). This occurs when the missing digit is \(0,3,6,\) or \(9\). 3. The digits in both sets are \(3\) and \(9\).

\(3\) and \(9\)

- What must be true of the digit sum for divisibility by \(9\)? - What must be true of the final two digits for divisibility by \(4\)? - Does the digit that passes the first test also pass the second?

1. For divisibility by \(9\), the digit sum \(1+\square+2=3+\square\) must be divisible by \(9\). The only possible digit is \(6\), which gives a digit sum of \(9\). 2. With \(\square=6\), the number is \(162\). Its last two digits form \(62\), which is not divisible by \(4\). 3. Therefore, no digit satisfies both conditions.

No digit works. The only digit that makes the number divisible by \(9\) is \(6\), but \(162\) is not divisible by \(4\).

- What does the final digit tell you about divisibility by \(5\)? - How are the divisibility rules for \(3\) and \(9\) related? - Add the known digits and determine what is needed to reach a multiple of \(9\).

1. The number ends in \(0\), so it is divisible by \(5\) for every possible box digit. 2. For divisibility by \(9\), the digit sum \(4+\square+3+0=7+\square\) must be divisible by \(9\). This occurs only when \(\square=2\), giving a digit sum of \(9\). 3. Every number divisible by \(9\) is also divisible by \(3\). Therefore, \(2\) satisfies all three conditions.

\(2\)

- How can the digit sum test divisibility by \(3\)? - Which two digits determine divisibility by \(4\)? - Make one list for each rule and find the numbers common to both.

1. Test divisibility by \(3\) using digit sums: the sums are \(6,15,7,9,15,\) and \(9\), respectively. Every number except \(412\) is divisible by \(3\). 2. Test divisibility by \(4\) using the final two digits: \(32\), \(12\), \(44\), and \(08\) are divisible by \(4\), so \(132,412,744,\) and \(1008\) pass this test. 3. The numbers in both lists are \(132,744,\) and \(1008\).

\(132,744,\) and \(1008\)

- Examine the ones digit for divisibility by \(2\), \(5\), and \(10\). - For divisibility by \(25\), examine the last two digits. - Can a number be divisible by \(10\) without also being divisible by \(5\)?

1. A number is divisible by \(2\) when its ones digit is even. This identifies \(250,1020,\) and \(884\). 2. A number is divisible by \(5\) when its ones digit is \(0\) or \(5\). This identifies \(250,475,1020,\) and \(915\). 3. A number is divisible by \(10\) when its ones digit is \(0\). This identifies \(250\) and \(1020\). 4. A number is divisible by \(25\) when its last two digits are \(00,25,50,\) or \(75\). This identifies \(250\) and \(475\). 5. Organize the results by number.

- Can you find a number ending in \(3\) that is not a multiple of \(3\)? - How are multiples of \(9\) related to multiples of \(3\)? - Which two divisibility conditions together guarantee divisibility by \(6\)?

1. Statement a is false. Divisibility by \(3\) depends on the digit sum, not only the ones digit. For example, \(13\) ends in \(3\), but its digit sum is \(1+3=4\), so it is not divisible by \(3\). 2. Statement b is true. Since \(9=3\times3\), every multiple of \(9\) is also a multiple of \(3\). 3. Statement c is true. A number is divisible by \(6\) exactly when it is divisible by both \(2\) and \(3\); being even satisfies the first condition, and having a digit sum divisible by \(3\) satisfies the second.

a) False. One counterexample is \(13\). b) True. c) True.

- Add the digits of each number for part a. - Examine only the tens and ones digits for part b. - Compare your two lists for part c.

The endings \(32,16,\) and \(04\) are divisible by \(4\), so \(132,316,\) and \(504\) are divisible by \(4\). 3. The only number in both lists is \(504\).

The first digit sum divisible by \(3\) occurs at \(a=3\), so the number is \(3333\). 2. In part b, the number has the form \(a50b\). To maximize the number, choose \(a=9\). For divisibility by \(5\), the ones digit must be \(0\) or \(5\); choose \(b=5\) to maximize the number. The result is \(9505\).

a) \(3333\) b) \(9505\)

- List the whole numbers that round to \(640\) to the nearest ten. - Recall the divisibility rule for \(5\). - Test the numbers in your rounding range against that rule.

\(0\) and \(5\)

- Which two divisibility conditions together guarantee divisibility by \(6\)? - What does the final digit \(2\) tell you? - Write the digit sum, remembering that the same missing digit appears twice. - Which digits make that sum a multiple of \(3\)?

1. A number is divisible by \(6\) when it is divisible by both \(2\) and \(3\). 2. The number \(1\ast\ast2\) ends in \(2\), so it is divisible by \(2\) for every possible digit. 3. Its digit sum is \(1+\ast+\ast+2=3+2\times\ast\). 4. For \(\ast=0,3,6,\) and \(9\), the digit sums are \(3,9,15,\) and \(21\), respectively, all divisible by \(3\). No other digit gives a digit sum divisible by \(3\). 5. Therefore, the possible digits are \(0,3,6,\) and \(9\).

\(0,3,6,\) and \(9\)

- Read the chip count in each column from left to right. - A number divisible by \(10\) has a ones digit of \(0\).

1. The chart shows \(1\) hundred thousand, \(5\) ten thousands, \(2\) thousands, \(0\) hundreds, \(0\) tens, and \(7\) ones, so the number is \(152{,}007\). 2. The ten-thousands digit is \(5\). 3. A whole number is divisible by \(10\) when its ones digit is \(0\). Adding \(3\) ones changes the ones count from \(7\) to \(10\), which regroups to \(1\) ten and \(0\) ones. The new number is \(152{,}010\).

For divisibility by \(3\), the digit sum \(7+3+\square=10+\square\) must be divisible by \(3\). This occurs for digit sums \(12,15,\) and \(18\), so the missing digit can be \(2,5,\) or \(8\). 3.

a) One counterexample is \(16\). b) One counterexample is \(14\).

- What kind of numbers are not divisible by \(2\)? - Look for a multiple of \(4\) whose ones digit is not \(4\) or \(8\). - Add two simple odd numbers. - Is one counterexample enough to disprove a universal claim?

1. For part a, \(12\) is divisible by \(4\) because \(12\div4=3\), but its ones digit is \(2\). This disproves the statement. 2. For part b, choose two odd numbers. For example, \(3+5=8\). Both addends are not divisible by \(2\), but their sum is divisible by \(2\), so the statement is false.

- Can two factors each contribute part of the factorization needed for divisibility by \(4\)? - Begin with small whole-number factors.

Choose two factors that are not divisible by \(4\) but whose product is divisible by \(4\). The numbers \(2\) and \(2\) work because \(2\times2=4\). Neither factor is divisible by \(4\), but the product is.

One counterexample is \(2\times2=4\). The product is divisible by \(4\), but neither factor is divisible by \(4\).

- How do you compute a digit sum when one digit is unknown? - Which two-digit numbers ending in \(2\) are divisible by \(4\)? - Does one digit satisfy more than one condition?

1. For divisibility by \(3\), the digit sum \(4+7+\square+2=13+\square\) must be divisible by \(3\). This occurs for \(\square=2,5,\) or \(8\). 2. For divisibility by \(4\), the last two digits \(\square2\) must form a multiple of \(4\). The possibilities are \(12,32,52,72,\) and \(92\), so \(\square=1,3,5,7,\) or \(9\). 3. For divisibility by \(9\), \(13+\square\) must be a multiple of \(9\). Only \(\square=5\) gives \(18\). 4. For divisibility by both \(3\) and \(4\), the digit must appear in both sets from steps 1 and 2. The only common digit is \(5\).

a) \(2\), \(5\), or \(8\) b) \(1\), \(3\), \(5\), \(7\), or \(9\) c) \(5\) d) \(5\)

- Which ones digits make a number divisible by \(2\)? - How can you use the digit sum when one digit is missing? - Which two divisibility conditions together guarantee divisibility by \(6\)?

1. For divisibility by \(2\), the ones digit must be even. Thus the possible digits are \(0,2,4,6,\) and \(8\). 2. For divisibility by \(3\), the digit sum \(2+5+\square=7+\square\) must be divisible by \(3\). This occurs for \(\square=2,5,\) or \(8\). 3. A number is divisible by \(6\) when it is divisible by both \(2\) and \(3\). The common digits from the first two sets are \(2\) and \(8\), giving \(252\) and \(258\).

a) \(0,2,4,6,8\) b) \(2,5,8\) c) \(2\) and \(8\), because the number must be divisible by both \(2\) and \(3\).

- Which endings make a number divisible by \(25\)? - What is the least possible leading digit of the five-digit number? - How can the remaining digits be chosen to keep the number as small as possible?

1. A number divisible by \(25\) ends in \(00,25,50,\) or \(75\). The greatest four-digit number with one of these endings is \(9975\). 2. The least five-digit number using only \(0\) and \(1\) must begin with \(1\), and all remaining digits should be \(0\). It is \(10{,}000\). 3. Add: \(9975+10{,}000=19{,}975\).

\(19{,}975\)

- First add the digits from \(0\) through \(9\). - Compare that total with the digit sums of your results. - Think about how one regrouping changes a digit sum.

1. Three valid examples are \(10{,}234 + 98{,}765 = 108{,}999\), with digit sum \(36\); \(50{,}246 + 13{,}789 = 64{,}035\), with digit sum \(18\); and \(24{,}680 + 13{,}579 = 38{,}259\), with digit sum \(27\). 2. Each result has a digit sum that is divisible by \(9\). 3. The sum of the digits \(0\) through \(9\) is \(45\), a multiple of \(9\). During addition, each regrouping replaces \(10\) in one place with \(1\) in the next place, decreasing the digit sum by \(9\). Therefore, regrouping can change the digit sum only by multiples of \(9\), so the result still has a digit sum divisible by \(9\).

a) One possible set is: \(10{,}234 + 98{,}765 = 108{,}999\), digit sum \(36\) \(50{,}246 + 13{,}789 = 64{,}035\), digit sum \(18\) \(24{,}680 + 13{,}579 = 38{,}259\), digit sum \(27\) b) Each digit sum is a multiple of \(9\). c) The digits used have a total of \(45\), and each regrouping changes the digit sum by \(9\). Therefore, the result's digit sum remains a multiple of \(9\).

- How often do even numbers occur among consecutive whole numbers? - How often do multiples of \(4\) occur? - Find a group of four consecutive whole numbers containing no multiple of \(5\). - What kind of factor would guarantee divisibility by \(5\)?

1. Among four consecutive whole numbers, two are even. Therefore, at least one factor is divisible by \(2\), so the whole product is divisible by \(2\). 2. Among any four consecutive whole numbers, exactly one is a multiple of \(4\). Because that number is a factor of the product, the product is divisible by \(4\). 3. The product is not always divisible by \(5\). For example, \(1\times2\times3\times4=24\), which is not divisible by \(5\). Four consecutive whole numbers do not always include a multiple of \(5\).

1) The product is always divisible by \(2\) because it includes even factors. 2) The product is always divisible by \(4\) because the four whole numbers include a multiple of \(4\). 3) No. A counterexample is \(1\times2\times3\times4=24\).
