If a number is divisible by 6, then it has to be divisible by _______.

• A. 2 and 5
• B. 2 and 7
• C. 3 and 5
• D. 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2 and 3

If a number is divisible by 6, then, it should be divisible by 2 and 3.

For example:
Consider a number 36.
36 is divisible by 2.
$\frac{36}{2}=18$

36 is also divisible by 3.
$\frac{36}{3}=12$

Hence, 36 is divisible by both 2 and 3.
