The basic rule for divisibility by 4 is that if the number formed by the last two digits in a number is divisible by 4, the original number is divisible by 4; [2] [3] this is because 100 is divisible by 4 and so adding hundreds, thousands, etc. is simply adding another number that is divisible by 4. If any number ends in a two digit number that ...
If a number is divisible by 9, its digital root is 9. Otherwise, its digital root is the remainder it leaves after being divided by 9. A sanity test in which the above-mentioned procedures are used to check for errors in arithmetical calculations. The test is carried out by applying the same sequence of arithmetical operations to the digital ...
For example, in Decimal applications where N is 10, original values between 0 and 4 result in even numbers and original values between 5 and 9 result in odd numbers, effectively re-packing the doubled values between 0 and 18 into a single distinct result between 0 and 9. Where an N is used that is not divisible by 2 this step returns even ...
For example, there are six divisors of 4; they are 1, 2, 4, −1, −2, and −4, but only the positive ones (1, 2, and 4) would usually be mentioned. 1 and −1 divide (are divisors of) every integer. Every integer (and its negation) is a divisor of itself. Integers divisible by 2 are called even, and integers not divisible by 2 are called odd.
The essential idea behind trial division tests to see if an integer n, the integer to be factored, can be divided by each number in turn that is less than or equal to the square root of n. For example, to find the prime factors of n = 70 , one can try to divide 70 by successive primes: first, 70 / 2 = 35 ; next, neither 2 nor 3 evenly divides ...
The simplest primality test is trial division: given an input number, , check whether it is divisible by any prime number between 2 and (i.e., whether the division leaves no remainder). If so, then is composite. Otherwise, it is prime. [1]

Digit sums and digital roots can be used for quick divisibility tests: a natural number is divisible by 3 or 9 if and only if its digit sum (or digital root) is divisible by 3 or 9, respectively. For divisibility by 9, this test is called the rule of nines and is the basis of the casting out nines technique for checking calculations.
