Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a correct application of the divisibility rule for 11?
  • Step 1: Identify the number you want to check for divisibility by 11.
  • Step 2: Write down the digits of the number in order.
  • Step 3: Separate the digits into two groups: those in odd positions and those in even positions.
  • Step 4: Add up the digits in the odd positions to get a sum.
  • Step 5: Add up the digits in the even positions to get another sum.
  • Step 6: Find the difference between the sum of the odd-position digits and the sum of the even-position digits.
  • Step 7: Check if this difference is divisible by 11 (i.e., if it can be divided by 11 without leaving a remainder).
  • Step 8: If the difference is divisible by 11, then the original number is also divisible by 11.
