Maths may not be easy for some of us and to help you we have listed the guidelines on whether a Number is Divisible by 6 or not. Check out Solved Examples for testing whether a number is divisible by 6 or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Divisibility Rule of 6 &#8211; Definition<\/h2>\n<p>A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. To know whether a number is divisible by 6 one needs to know both the Divisibility Rules of 2 and 3 in advance.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Check whether a Number is Divisible by 6 or not?<\/h3>\n<p>Go through the below Divisibility Guidelines of 6 to know whether a number is divisible by 6 or not. To know if a number is divisible by 6 it has to meet two conditions in prior and they are along the lines<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It has to be divisible by 2 i.e. the last digit in the number should be even.<\/li>\n<li>It has to be divisible by\u00a0 3 i.e. the sum of digits must be a multiple of 3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If both the conditions are met then the given number is also a multiple of 6 and divisible by 6.<\/p>\n<h3>Solved Examples on Divisibility Tests for 6<\/h3>\n<p>Find whether the following numbers are divisible by 6 or not<\/p>\n<p>1. 48<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Number is 48<\/p>\n<p>To check whether it is divisible by 6 or not it has to meet two conditions<\/p>\n<p>48 is divisible by 2 since the units digit of the number i.e. 8 is divisible by 2<\/p>\n<p>48 is divisible by 3 since the sum of digits is a multiple of 3 i.e. 4+8 = 12 is divisible by 3<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, 48 is divisible by both 2 and 3<\/p>\n<p>Thus, 48 is divisible by 6.<\/p>\n<p>2. 258<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Number is 258<\/p>\n<p>258 is divisible by 2 since the units digit of the number i.e. 6 is divisible by 2<\/p>\n<p>258 is divisible by 3 since the sum of digits is divisible by 3 i.e. 2+5+8 = 15 is divisible by 3<\/p>\n<p>Since 258 is divisible by both 2, 3 it is also divisible by 6<\/p>\n<p>3. 154<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Number is 154<\/p>\n<p>154 is divisible by 2 since the units digit of the number i.e. 4 is divisible by 2<\/p>\n<p>154 is not divisible by 3 as the sum of the digits is not divisible by 3 i.e. 1+5+4 = 10<\/p>\n<p>10 is not divisible by 3<\/p>\n<p>Since the given number is not divisible by 3 the given number is not divisible by 6.<\/p>\n<p>4. 243<\/p>\n<p>Solution:<\/p>\n<p>Given Number is 243<\/p>\n<p>243 is not divisible by 2 since the units digit of the number is not divisible by 2 i.e. 3 is not divisible by 2<\/p>\n<p>243 is divisible by 3 since the sum of digits is a multiple of 3 i.e. 2+4+3 = 9 and 9 is divisible by 3<\/p>\n<p>Since the given number is not divisible by 2 it is not divisible by 6<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, 243 is not divisible by 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered why certain numbers divide evenly into a number while others will not?
