The method (Rules and powers): By 3 or 9: the digit sum divides by 3 or 9. By 4: the last two digits. By 8: the last three digits. By 6: even and divisible by 3. By 11: the sums of alternate digits are equal or differ by 11. Number of factors: write n = p^a × q^b …, then the count is (a + 1) × (b + 1) × …. To make n divisible by d: divide, then add (d − remainder) or take away the remainder.
