Applying Divisibility Tests in Inventory Auditing

An inventory manager is auditing a production batch containing exactly {}5{,}625 items. To determine the most efficient packaging and shipping configurations, the manager needs to quickly verify whether this total quantity can be evenly grouped without any leftover items.

Write an essay explaining how the manager can use divisibility tests to determine whether the batch of {}5{,}625 items can be evenly divided into equal groups of 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10. For each of these five divisors, explicitly state the divisibility rule or test applied, the specific digit calculations or observations for the number {}5{,}625, and the final conclusion (whether it is divisible or not).
