Here is a list of divisible number properties.
To find if number x is divisible by:
2: If x is even, True
3: If the sum of the digits of x are a multiple of 3, True
4: If the ones and tens digits form a number that is divisible by 4, True
5: If the ones digit is a 0 or 5, True
6: If x is divisible by 2 AND 3, True
7: Double the ones digit and subtract the last number from the remaining digits. If difference divisible by 7, True
8: If last 3 digits form a number that is divisible by 8, True OR If x is divisible by 2 three times, True
9: If the sum of the digits are a multiple of 9, True
10: If the ones digit is 0, True
11 (Method 1): Add each digit using these properties: - + - +... If the resulting number is divisible by 11, True
11 (Method 2): Starting with ones digit, add every other number (A). Add the remaining numbers (B). If A - B is divisible by 11, True
12: If sum of the digits is a multiple of 3 and the last two digits are a multiple of 4, True
15: If x is divisible by 3 AND 5, True
4 Example: Is 312 divisible by 4?
If the ones and tens digits form a number that is divisible by 4 then true. The ones and tens digits form 12 and 12 is divisible by 4, therefore true.
7 Example: Is 357 divisible by 7?
Double the ones digit (7) to get 14. Subtract 14 from remaining digits (35) to get 21. 21 is divisible by 7, therefore true.
9 Example: Is 95,301 divisible by 9?
The number 95,301 is divisible by 9 because the digits add to 18 (9+5+3+0+1), which is a multiple of 9.
11 (Method 1) Example: Is 824,472 divisible by 11?
-8 + 2 - 4 + 4 - 7 + 2 = -11, which is divisible by 11, therefore 824,472 is divisible by 11.
11 (Method 2) Example: Is 824,472 divisible by 11?
Starting with the units digit, add every other number:2 + 4 + 2 = 8. Then add the remaining numbers: 7 + 4 + 8 = 19. Since the difference between these two sums is 11, which is divisible by 11, 824472 is divisible by 11.
If anyone knows any other divisible number properties, please list them. Thanks.

Would anybody be kind enough to break this methodology down with a specific example so I can see what I'm doing wrong?
