Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a rule for divisibility by 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 from left to right.
  • Step 3: Label the positions of the digits starting from 1 (the leftmost digit is position 1, the next is position 2, and so on).
  • Step 4: Separate the digits into two groups: those in odd positions and those in even positions.
  • Step 5: Add up all the digits in the odd positions to get a sum.
  • Step 6: Add up all the digits in the even positions to get another sum.
  • Step 7: Find the difference between the sum of the odd-position digits and the sum of the even-position digits.
  • Step 8: Check if this difference is 0 or if it can be divided evenly by 11 (i.e., check if the difference is a multiple of 11).
  • Step 9: If the difference is 0 or a multiple of 11, then the original number is divisible by 11.
