Divisibility Rule for 6

Any number that is divisible by 2 and 3 not just 2 and not just 3. But Both 2 and 3 for it to be divisible by 6.

e.g 12 is a divisible by 6 because 3x4=12 and 2x6= 12

So 12 is divisible by 6 because 12 is both divisible by 2 and 3 not just 2 and not just 3 but both 2 and 3.

Another example is 24 divisible by 6? Yes it is! Because 2x12=24 and 3x8=24.
24 has both 2 and 3 and not just 2 and not just 3 but both 2 and 3.

I have a Question is 124 divisible by 6? If you figured it out post the Answer and explain why.

  2. Good job Gerard! I really like how you explained it nicely and how it's easy to understand.
    Is 124 divisible by 6? No, it's not divisible by 6 because it's only divisible by 2 not 3. You'll know it's divisible by 6 if both 2 and 3 are divisible by the number.
