Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For a number to be divisible by 11, which of the following must be true?
  • Step 1: Identify the digits of the number you want to check for divisibility by 11.
  • Step 2: Label the positions of the digits starting from the right. The rightmost digit is position 1 (odd), the next is position 2 (even), and so on.
  • Step 3: Add up all the digits that are in odd positions. This is your 'sum of odd positions'.
  • Step 4: Add up all the digits that are in even positions. This is your 'sum of even positions'.
  • Step 5: Calculate the difference between the 'sum of odd positions' and the 'sum of even positions'.
  • Step 6: Check if this difference is 0 or if it can be divided evenly by 11 (meaning there is no remainder).
  • Step 7: If the difference is 0 or divisible by 11, then the original number is divisible by 11.
  • Divisibility Rule for 11 – A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits in odd positions and the sum of the digits in even positions is 0 or divisible by 11.
