The number 15287 is divisible by:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Following are the divisibility rules for different numbers:
Thus, we can say that 15287 is not divisible by 3, 8 and 9.
Divisibility by 3 = Sum of all the digits 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 7 = 23, as 23 is not divisible by 3 thus, 15287 is not divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 8 = Last 3 digits divisible by 3 i.e. 287 must be divisible by 8, which is not true. This, 15287 is not divisible by 8.
Divisibility by 9 = Sum of all digits 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 7 = 23, as 23 is not divisible by 9 thus, 15287 is not divisible by 9.
