| Numbers that are
divisible by 2 end in __, __, __, __, or __.
Numbers that are divisible by 5 end in either __ or __. Numbers that are divisible by 10 end in __ . |
Division rule for 3 is different. No longer do we check in what the
number ends:
In other words, we add the digits of the number, and if that is divisible
by 3, so is the original number.
