Divisibility
Divisibility Tests (a.k.a. Divisibility Rules)
Knowing and understanding divisibility tests is an important mathematical skill. It is not enough to know how to do the tests -- knowing why the tests work is even more important. When you understand why a test works, you can recreate the test even if you have forgotten the details.
