divisibility test for 7
If you double the last digit and subtract it
from the rest of the number and the answer
is 0 or
*divisible by 7
divisibility test for 8
The last three digits are divisible by 8
divisibility test for 9
The sum of the digits is divisible by 9
(note: you can apply this rule to that answer
again if you want)
divisibility test for 10
The number ends in 0.
divisibility test for 11
If you sum every second digit and then
subtract all other digits and the answer is 0 or
* divisible by 11
divisibility test for 12

When a divides b we say that a is a X of b and
that b is a X of a.
