Open in App
Solution

Divisibility rule of 2 - A number is divisible by 2 if its ones place digits are 0,2,4,6 or 8.

437 is not divisible by 2 as its ones place digit is 7.
Divisibility rule of 3 - A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

437 is not divisible by 3 as the sum of its digits 4+3+7=14 which is not divisible by 3.


Divisibility rule of 6 - A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 both.

437 is not divisible by 2 as its ones place is 7. It is also not divisible by 3 as 4+3+7=14 is not divisible by 3.
Thus, 437 is not divisible by 6.
