1. Factors and Multiples

2. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 2?
The number will end in a 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 if it is divisible by 2. (Write this down.)
Write down which number is divisible by 2 and explain why.
is divisible by 2 because it ends in 8.

3. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 3?
The sum of the digits is divisible by 3 if the number is divisible by 3. (Write this down)
Is divisible by 3?
= 60
60 is divisible 3 so is divisible 3. If you’re not sure if 60 is divisible by 3 add the digits again. 6+0 = 6, 6 is divisible 3.
Is divisible by 3? Explain how you know.

4. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 4?
If the digit in the tens place is even and the digit in the ones place is a 0, 4 or 8, or if the digit in the tens place is odd and the digit in the ones place is a 2 or 6.(Write this down.)
Write down which number is divisible by 4 and explain why.
is divisible by 4.

5. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 5?
The number will end in a 0 or 5. (Write this down.)
Write down a 10-digit number that is divisible by 5.

6. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 6?
If the number is divisible by 2 and 3 then it is divisible by 6. (Write this down.)
Write down which number is divisible by 6 and explain why.
is divisible by 6.

7. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 9?
The sum of the digits is divisible by 9 if the number is divisible by 9. (Write this down)
Is divisible by 9?
= 60
60 is not divisible 9 so is not divisible 9. If you’re not sure if 60 is divisible by 9 add the digits again. 6+0 = 6, 6 is not divisible 9.
Is divisible by 9? Explain how you know.

8. Division Properties How do you know if a number is divisible by 10?
If the number ends in 0, it is divisible by 10. (Write this down.)
Write down a 12 digit number that is divisible by 10.

9. Vocabulary
Prime Number – A number with two distinct factors, 1 and itself.
Composite Number – A number composed of prime numbers.
Factors – Are the numbers you multiply to get another number.
Multiples – Are the result of multiplying a number by an integer.

10. Prime Numbers

11. Testing for Primality Is 29 a prime number? How can we test it?
What are possible factors of 29?
1 and 29
2 doesn’t divide evenly into 29, so the number must be greater than 2 and less than 14.
3 doesn’t divide evenly into 29 so the number must be greater than 3 and less than 9.
4 doesn’t divide evenly into 29 so the number best be greater than 4 and less than 7.
This leaves us with 5 and 6 which don’t divide evenly. Therefore 29 is a prime number!
