Dividing by 2
All even numbers are divisible by 2. E.g., all numbers ending in 0,2,4,6 or 8.
Example:236,569874,369562
Dividing by 3
Add up all the digits in the number.
Find out what the sum is. If the sum is divisible by 3, so is the number
For example: 12345 (1+2+3+4+5=15) 15 is divisible by 3, therefore 12345 is too!

Dividing by 4
1.
if the last two digits in your number divisible by 4. the number is too
2.
For example: 358912 ends in 12 which is divisible by 4, thus so is 358912.
Dividing by 5
1. If the Numbers ending in a 5 or a 0 are always divisible by 5.
Dividing by 6
1. If the Number is divisible by 2 and 3 it is divisible by 6 also.
Dividing by 7 (2 Tests)

Take the last digit in a number.

Double and subtract the last digit in your number from the rest of the digits.

Repeat the process for larger numbers.

Example: 357 (Double the 7 to get 14. Subtract 14 from 35 to get 21 which is divisible by 7
and we can now say that 357 is divisible by 7.

NEXT TEST
Take the number and multiply each digit beginning on the right hand side (ones) by 1, 3, 2,
6, 4, 5. Repeat this sequence as necessary
Add the products.
If the sum is divisible by 7 - so is your number.
Example: Is 2016 divisible by 7?
6(1) + 1(3) + 0(2) + 2(6) = 21
21 is divisible by 7 and we can now say that 2016 is also divisible by 7.

Dividing by 8
1.
This one's not as easy, if the last 3 digits are divisible by 8, so is the entire number.
2.
Example: 6008 - The last 3 digits are divisible by 8, therefore, so is 6008.
Dividing by 9
1.
Almost the same rule and dividing by 3. Add up all the digits in the number.
2.
Find out what the sum is. If the sum is divisible by 9, so is the number.
3.
For example: 43785 (4+3+7+8+5=27) 27 is divisible by 9, therefore 43785 is too!
Dividing by 10
1. If the number ends in a 0, it is divisible by 10.

Square 9's With Starting 7 Number Digit


Follow the following Steps:

1.
2.
o

Choose a number with a 7 and repeating 9's (use a mimimum of three 9's).
The square is made up of:
first digits: 63 & two fewer 9's than repeating 9's in the number

next digits: 84 & one fewer 0 than repeating 9's in the number

last digit: 1

Example-1:
If the number to be squared is 7999:
The square has:first digits: 63 and two fewer
9's than rep. 9's
639
next digits: 84 and one fewer
0 than rep. 9's
8400
last digit: 1

If the number to be squared is 799999:
2.
The square has:first digits: 63 and two fewer
9's than rep. 9's
63999
next digits: 84 and one fewer
0 than rep. 9's
840000
last digit: 1

So 799999 799999 = 639,998,400,001.

Multiply btw 2 number with difference 10


Follow the following Steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Choose a 2-digit number.


Select a number either 10 smaller or 10 larger.
Find the middle number of the two (the average).
Square this middle number (multiply it by itself).
Subtract 25 from this square.

Example:1
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

If the first number is 36, choose 26 as the second number (10 smaller).
The middle number (the average) is 31.
Square this middle number: 31 31 = 961.
Subtract 25 from this square: 961 - 25 = 936
So 36 26 = 936.
Example:2
1.
If the first number is 78, you might pick 88 as the second number (10 larger).
2.
The middle number (the average) is 83.
3.
Square this middle number: 83 83 = 6889.
4.
Subtract 25 from this square: 6889 - 25 = 6864
5.
So 78 88 = 6864.Remember to subtract in easy steps and pick your number to get an easy
square. With

Multiplying a repeating 1's number by 25

Follow the following Steps:


1.
Choose a repeating 1's number (111, etc.)
2.
Multiply it by 25
3.
The product is:

3-digit-number-by-101

Follow the Following Steps:


1.

Select a 3-digit number .

2.

The sum of the first and third digits will be the middle digit: _ _ X _ _.

3.

The first two digits plus the carry will be the first digits: X X _ _ _.

4.

The last two digits of the number will be the last digits: _ _ _ X X.

Example:1

The number chosen is 318.

2.
3 + 8 = 11 (sum of first and third digits):
_ _ 1 _ _ (keep carry, 1)
3.
31 + 1 = 32 (first two digits plus carry):
3 2 _ _ _.
4.
The last two digits are the same:
_ _ _ 1 8.
5.

So 318 101 = 32118.

Example:2
1.

If the number chosen is 728:

2.
7 + 8 = 15 (sum of first and third digits):
_ _ 5 _ _ (keep carry, 1)
