Qt A
\(567213560\) when divided by \(8\)
\(8\)'s divisibility rule:
if the last three digits are divisible by \(8\), then the whole number is divisible by \(8\)
consider the last three digits \(560\), when divided by \(8\), the remainder will be \(0\)
Qt B
\(297845786\) when divided by \(7\)
\(7\)'s divisibility rule:
Take the last digit of the number you're testing and double it. Subtract this number from the rest of the digits in the original number. If this new number is either \(0\) or if it's a number that's divisible by \(7\), then you know that the original number is also divisible by \(7\).
Here, the last digit is \(6\), and its double is \(12\).
When subtracting \(12\) from \(29784578\), we will get \(29784566\), which is divisible by \(7\).
You can use the calculator as well.
