Question

Test the divisibility of the following numbers by 6:

251780

Sum

Solution

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

Since 251780 is not divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 6.
Checking the divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits of the number, 2 + 5 + 1 + 7 + 8 + 0, is 23, which is not divisible by 3. So, the number is not divisible by 3.
