Question

Determine if the following number is divisible by 6:

684 684

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if the number 684 is divisible by 6, we will apply the relevant divisibility rules:

  • Divisibility by 2: A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even. The last digit of 684 is 4, which is even. Therefore, 684 is divisible by 2.
  • Divisibility by 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. The sum of the digits of 684 is 6+8+4=186 + 8 + 4 = 18. Since 18 is divisible by 3 (because 18÷3=618 \div 3 = 6), 684 is divisible by 3.

Since 684 is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is Yes.

Answer

Yes
