Is 5{,}625 divisible by 22, 33, 55, 66, and 1010? Explain each answer using a divisibility test.

Question: Is 5{,}625 divisible by 22, 33, 55, 66, and 1010? Explain each answer using a divisibility test.

Sample answer: 5{,}625 is not divisible by 22 because its last digit, 55, is not even. It is divisible by 33 because 5+6+2+5=185+6+2+5=18, and 1818 is divisible by 33. It is divisible by 55 because it ends in 55. It is not divisible by 66 because it is not divisible by both 22 and 33. It is not divisible by 1010 because it does not end in 00.

Key points:

  • Not divisible by 22: the last digit is not even.
  • Divisible by 33: the digit sum is 1818.
  • Divisible by 55: the last digit is 55.
  • Not divisible by 66: it fails the test for 22.
  • Not divisible by 1010: the last digit is not 00.

Rubric: Give one point for each correct conclusion and explanation for 22, 33, 55, 66, and 1010.
