In your previous class you have studied about various

types of numbers such as Natural numbers, Whole

numbers, Integers, Rational numbers and the various
properties such as closure, associative, commutative
and distributive. The number in the general form can
be written as for example 26 = 2x10 +6.
The generalform of a 2-digit number is . The
sum of a 2-digit number and the number obtained by
interchanging its digits is always divisible by 11. The
difference between a 2-digit number and the number
obtained by interchanging its digits is always divisible by
9.

The general form of a 3-digit number is .
The difference between a 3-digit number and a number
obtained by reversing its digits is always divisible by 99.

In your previous class you have learnt about
varioustypes of numbers and the properties that they
satisfy. You have also learnt
the tests of divisibility with 10, 5, 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 9 and
11. In this lesson we will learn why the numbers
are divisible by 10, 5, 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 9 and 11.
A number is said to be divisible by another number,
when the remainder is zero.
A number is divisible by 10, if its ones digit is 0.
A number is divisible by 5, if its ones digit is 0 or 5.



A number is divisible by 2, if its ones digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or
8.
If a number is divisible by 10, then the number is
also divisible by 2 and 5.


A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its
digits is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its
digits is divisible by 3.
If a number is divisible by 9, then the number is
also divisible by 3.
If a number is divisible by 3, then it may not necessarily
be divisible by 9.
