Numbers Divisibility by 2Divisibility by 3
(i)872645 The last digit is 5.So it is not divisible by 28+7+2+6+4+5=32 is not divisible by 3.
Hence 872645 is not divisible by 3
(ii)46523 The last digit is 3.So it is not divisible by 24+6+5+2+3=20 is not divisible by 3.Hence 46523 is not divisible by 3
(iii)71232 The last digit is 2.So it is divisible by 2 7+1+2+3+2=15 is divisible by 3. Hence 71232 is divisible by 3.
(iv)89632 The last digit is 2.So it is divisible by 28+9+6+3+2=28 is not divisible by 3. Hence 89632 is not divisible by 3.
(v)251730 The last digit is 0.So it is divisible by 22+5+1+7+3+0=18 is divisible by 3.
Hence 251730 is divisible by 3
