How Do You Know If a Digit Is Divisible by 6?

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

Here's how to check:

1. Divisibility by 2: The number must be even. This means the last digit (the one's place) must be 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

2. Divisibility by 3: The sum of its digits must be divisible by 3.

Example:

Let's test the number 252.

• Divisibility by 2: The last digit is 2, which is even. So, 252 is divisible by 2.
• Divisibility by 3: 2 + 5 + 2 = 9. Since 9 is divisible by 3, 252 is divisible by 3.

Since 252 is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is also divisible by 6. (252 / 6 = 42)
