19. Divisibility Tests are shortcuts for finding factors of whole numbers.
Here are six useful divisibility tests:
A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is an even number.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4 if the last 2 digits name a multiple of 4.
A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit is 0 or 5.
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit is 0.

20. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Examples:
411  = 6
9,855  = 27  = 9

21. A number is divisible by 4 if the last 2 digits name a multiple of 4.
Examples:
1036  36 = 4 • 9
Since 36 is divisible by 4, 1036 is also!

22. A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit is 0 or 5.
Examples:
10, 25, 40, or 75 are all divisible by 5 because the last digit is a 0 or a 5

23. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
Examples:
153 = 9  9 is divisible by itself.
468 = 18  9 • 2 = 18
Since 18 is divisible by 9 then is also!

24. A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit is 0.
Examples:
10, 20,40, 70, 110, 2190 are all divisible by 10 because the last digit is a 0.

28. Definitions
Prime Numbers: A whole number greater than 1 that has only 1 and itself as factors.
Composite Numbers: A whole number greater than 1 that has at least one factor besides itself and 1.

29. Prime Factorization Examples:
Prime Factorization: Every composite number can be expressed as a product of only prime numbers.
Examples: 6
2 • 3
12 3 • 4 3 • 2 • 2
• 10 2 • 5 • 2 • 5
25 = 2 • 5 • 2 • 5
6 = 2 • 3
12 = 2 • 2 • 3
