Odd Numbers: Any number that cannot be divided by 2 is called Odd Number. Odd numbers end with 1,3,5,7 or 9.

Example: 3, 17,451, 759, 35, 873

Prime Numbers: A number that can only be divided by 1 and itself.

Example: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43

  • 1 is not a prime number.
  • Smallest prime number is 2

Face Value of a digit: The face value of a number is its own exact value.

Place value of a digit: Local value of a digit is the value a digit holds in a number.

Example: In number 5823, Face value of 5 = 5, 8 = 8, 2 = 2, and 3 = 3.

And the Place value of 5=5000, 8=800, 2=20 and 3=3

Numbers Divisible by 2: Any number which ends with 0,2,4,6 or 8 is divisible by 2

For example:

  • 45698: This number ends with 8 that is why it is divisible by 2
  • 398564: This number ends with 4 that is why it is divisible by 2
  • 980230: This number ends with 0 that is why it is divisible by 2
  • 26: This number ends with 6 that is why it is divisible by 2
  • 562: This number ends with 2 that is why it is divisible by 2

Numbers Divisible by 3:If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then that whole number is divisible by 3.

For example:

  • 75684: The sum of its digits is (7+5+6+8+4=30). And 30 is divisible by 3. It means the full number 75684 is divisible by 3.
  • 75683:The sum of its digits is (7+5+6+8+3=29). And 29 is not divisible by 3. It means the full number 75683 is not divisible by 3.

Numbers Divisible by 5:If the last digit of a number is either 0 or 5, then that number is divisible by 5.

For example:

  • 75680: The last digit is 0, that is why 75680 is divisible by 5.
  • 985: The last digit is 5, that is why 985 is divisible by 5.
  • 63584: The last digit is 4, that is why 63584 is not divisible by 5.

Example19. How much we should add to 1256, so that it becomes divisible by 3?

Answer: 2

1+2+5+6=13, 13 is not divisible. If we add 2, then 15 will be divisible by 3.

Example20. How much we should subtract from 62351 so that it becomes divisible by 3?

Answer: 2

6+2+3+5+1=17. 17 is not divisible. If we subtract 2, then 15 will be divisible by 3.

Example21.If a number 25y513 is divisible by 3, then what is the value of y?

Answer: for a number to be divisible by 3, sum of its digits should be divisible by 3.

2+5+y+5+1+3 = Should be divisible by 3

2+5+5+1+3=16

16 is not divisible by 3, but 18 is divisible.

Hence, 2+5+y+5+1+3 =18

So, y=2
