Question

Which of the following is divisible by 6?

• A. 853
• B. 854
• C. 852
• D. 856

Answer 1

The correct option is C 852

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

From the given options; 853 is not divisible by 2 since it is an even number and is not divisible by 2.

854 is divisible by 2 but 8 + 5 + 4 = 17 which is not a multiple of 3 , hence it is not divisible by 6.

852 is divisible by 2 and 8 + 5 + 2 = 15 which is divisible by 3.
Hence 852 is divisible by 6.

856 is divisible by 2 but 8+5+6 =19 which is not a multiple of 3.
Hence it is not divisible by 6.
