Q. Without dividing, determine if 96,090 is divisible by 6 and explain how you know.96,090□ divisible by 6
Check Divisibility by 2: To determine if a number is divisible by 6, it must be divisible by both 2 and 3. For a number to be divisible by 2, it must be even, which means its last digit must be 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. For a number to be divisible by 3, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 3.Let's first check if 96,090 is divisible by 2.
Check Divisibility by 3: The last digit of 96,090 is 0, which is an even number. Therefore, 96,090 is divisible by 2.
Check Sum of Digits: Now let's check if 96,090 is divisible by 3 by adding its digits: 9+6+0+9+0=24.
Verify Divisibility by 6: The sum of the digits, 24, is divisible by 3 because 24÷3=8, which is a whole number.
Verify Divisibility by 6: The sum of the digits, 24, is divisible by 3 because 24÷3=8, which is a whole number.Since 96,090 is divisible by both 2 and 3, we can conclude that 96,090 is divisible by 6.
