Maths
There are two sheets in your homework book to complete about divisibility rules. We have learned that:
You can tell if a number is divisible by 3 by adding the digits together. If the digit sum is a multiple of 3 the whole number is divisible by 3/is a multiple of 3.
For example 245 is not a multiple of three because 2+4+5 - 11. Eleven is not a multiple of 3.
Whereas 4512 is a mutliple of 3 because 4+5+1+2 = 12 - which is a multiple of 3.
You can tell if the number is divisible by 6/a multiple of six. For starters, it has to be an EVEN number. Then when you add the difgit sum, it totals to a multiple of 3.
For instance, straight away we know 1325 cannot be divisible by six bacuse it is not EVEN.
6588 might be divisible by six because it is even. When you add the digits, 6+5 +8+8 = 27 it must be divisible by 6 because this number is a multiple of 3.
