Open in App
Solution

First we have to break 42 into factors 7 and 6 and
Now, we have to check simultaneously both the conditions of divisibility by 7 and 6
(i) for divisible by 7, To check if a number is evenly divisible by 7: Take the last digit of the number, double it Then subtract the result from the rest of the number If the resulting number is evenly divisible by 7, so is the original number.
(ii) for divisible by 6, it must also be divisible by 2 and 3. Therefore, we need to check if a number is even and then check if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
To check (i) 756(62)=7512=63 which is divisible by 7
Now, checking for (ii) it is an even number and 7+5+6=18 which is divisible by 3
Therefore 756 is divisible by 42.
Now, factors of 42 are 7,2,3
Since we have already checked Divisibility of 756 by 7,2,3
Hence , 756 is divisible by all factors of 42
