Number System (TEST OF DIVISIBILITY)

TEST OF DIVISIBILITY


  1. Divisibility of 2 : Numbers ending with 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8

  2. Divisibility of 3 : Sum of the digits of the number should be divisible by 3.

Ex . To check whether 3456789 is divisible by 3.

Sol : Divisibility of 3 says

= 3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 42.

Now, if 42 is divisible by 3 , 3456789 is also divisible by 3 otherwise not.

  1. Divisibility of 4 : Last two digits of the number should be divisible by 4. 

Ex . To check whether 3456782 is divisible by 4.

Sol : Divisibility of 4 says 

If 82 is divisible by 4, 3456782 is divisible by 4

But we can clearly see that, 82 is not divisible by 4 

Hence 3456782 is also not divisible by 4

  1. Divisibility of 5 : Number ending with 0 or 5. 

Ex . To check whether 3451 is divisible by 5.

Sol : We can clearly see that the last digit of the number is 1. 

Hence 3451 is not divisible by 5.

  1. Divisibility of 6 : A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 both. 

Ex . To check whether 3451 is divisible by 6.

Sol : Divisibility of 6 says : Divisible should be by 2 & 3 both

Divisibility of 2 : Number’s Last digit is 1; Hence can’t be divided by 2

Divisibility of 3 : Sum of Digits =  3+ 4+ 5+ 1 = 13 ; again not divisible by 3.

Hence 3451 is not divisible by 6.

  1. Divisibility of 7 : Double the last digit of the number and subtract it from the truncated value and check if the difference is divisible by 7. 

Ex: To check whether 343 is divisible by 7.

Sol : Double the last digit 3*2 = 6

Subtract from the Truncated value = 34 - 6 = 28

Since 28 is divisible by 7.  Hence 343 is divisible by 7.

  1. Divisibility of 8 : Last three digits of the number should be divisible by 8.

Ex: To check whether 34565432 is divisible by 8. 

Sol : Last three digits are 432 which are divisible by 8. 

Hence 34565432 is also divisible by 8.

  1. Divisibility of 9 : Sum of the digits should be divisible by 9.

Ex : To check whether 987654321 is divisible by 9.

Sol : Divisibility of 9 = 9+ 8+ 7+ 6+ 5+ 4+ 3+  2+ 1 = 45

 Since 45 is divisible by 9; Hence 45 is also divisible by 9.

  1. Divisibility of 10 : Last digit of the Number should be 0

  2. Divisibility of 11 : If Difference between the sum of the digits at the ODD places and the digits at the EVEN places  is either 0 or multiple of 11. 

Ex :  To check whether 98765432 is divisible by 11.

Sol : Sum of Even Places = 8 + 6+ 4 + 2 = 20

        Sum of Odd Places = 9 + 7 + 5 + 3 = 24

       Difference of Even and Odd Places = 24 - 20 = 4

4 is not divisible by 11; Hence 98765432 is also not divisible by 11. 

  1. Divisibility of 12 : A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 and 4 both.

  2. Divisibility of 15 : A number is divisible by 15 if it is divisible by 3 and 5 both.

  3. Divisibility of 24 : A number is divisible by 24 if it is divisible by 3 and 8 both.

  4. Divisibility of 25 : Last two digits of the number should be 00 or any multiple of 25.

HCF and LCM

HCF and LCM FACTORS / DIVISORS = Numbers that divide any number completely, without leaving any Remainder are its factors. Example : Factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.                    Factors of 90 are 1, ,2, 3, 5 , 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 MULTIPLES =   Numbers that fall in tables of any given number are its Multiples. Examples  : Multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96……                       Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 ….. HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F.) /  GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR (G.C.D.) =   Largest number that divides two or more than two given numbers. Examples : Calculate the  H.C.F. of 45 and 27  Sol : Factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45       ...

Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)

A single digit is obtained by adding all the digits of a number is called Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)   Ex :  12 → 1 + 2 → 3 24 → 2 + 4 → 6 21 → 2 + 1  → 3 9876 → 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 → 30 → 3 + 0 → 3 3452 → 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 → 14 → 1 + 4 → 5 Or,  On Dividing the digits by 9, the obtained Remainder is Digital Sum Balance.  Ex :    12    ━━ = 3                9      24 ━━━ = 6      9    3452 ━━━━ =  5      9 KEY HIGHLIGHTS : The range of D.S. always falls from 0 to 9. When we add 9 to a number, its Digital Sum will not change therefore in order to calculate Digital Sum we need to cancel out  all the 9’s.  9 + 1 → 10 → 1 9 + 2 → 11 → 2 9 + 3 → 12 → 3 9 + 4 → 13 → 4 9 + 5 → 14 → 5 9 + 6 → 15 → 6 9 + 7 → 16 → 7 9 + 8 → 17 → 8 9 + 9 → 18 → 9 Example : 123 45 → 6 → Digital Sum ...

CLOCKS (ANGLE)

ANGLES A clock is composed of 360 ° with 12 equal divisions. (i.e. 60 Minutes) The angle between any two consecutive divisions = (360°)/12= 30° or 1 Min = 6 °A Angular value of a minute = (30°)/5= 6° Speed of the hands Each needle of a clock covers the angle of 30 °  to go from one division to the next, but it takes different times to cover this distance. Speed of a second hand = 360° per minute.  Speed of a minute hand = 6° per minute. Speed of an hour hand =1/2 ° per minute.  Example : Q 1. How much degree is covered by minute and hour hand between 02 :00 p.m. to 04 : 00 ? 120 ° and 180 ° 60 ° and 120 ° 120 ° and 60°  60 ° and 720 ° Sol : Between 02: 00 to 04 : 00 = 120 minutes. Distance covered by Hour hand =   120 * ½ = 60 °  Minute hand = 120 * 6 ° = 720 ° = 2 rounds of the clock Q 2.  How much degree is covered by  hour hand between 12 noon to 03 : 45 p.m. ? 112.5 ° 150 ° 90 ° None of these Sol :  Between 12: 00 to 03 : 45 = 3 hours...
