Solution

Divisibility rule for 6: If a number is divisible by 2 and 3 both then it is divisible by 6 also.

Applying the above divisibility rule, we get
17852 Divisible by 2 as its units place is an even number.
Not divisible by 3 as the sum of its digits (= 23) is not divisible by 3.
Since the number is not divisible by both 2 and 3, therefore, it is not divisible by 6.
