We have seen test for divisibility by 2 and test for divisibility by 3.
Here for test for divisibility by 6 we have to verify whether that number is divisible by 2 and 3.
The test for divisibility by 6 is –
If a number is divisible by 2 as well as 3, then that number is divisible by 6.
We shall take a number and verify whether it is divisible by 6 or not.
Have a look –
We have a number 86124
The above number has 4 in its units place. Therefore this number is divisible by 2.
The sum of digits in the number is 8 + 6 +1+ 2 + 4 = 21.
21 is divisible by 3.
Thus the number 86124 is divisible by both 2 and 3. So the number 86124 is divisible by 6.
Let us verify –
By verification, it is clear that the number 86124 is divisible by 6.
