If a number is divisible by 2 and 3, then it satisfies the divisibility rule of?


Open in App
Solution

Compute the divisibility rule:

6 can be factorized as,

6=2×3

Hence the only two factors 6 has are 2 and 3.

So, whenever a number is divisible by both 2 and 3 it will have 6 as a factor and will consequently be divisible by 6.

For example:

96=2×3×24=6×24

96 is a number that is divisible by 2 and 3.

Therefore, it is also divisible by 6.

Hence, the divisibility rule of 6 is satisfied by the numbers 2 and 3.
