Hi
Yes in this case. But say you ask is x^2 div by 8, if x^3 is div by 8.
In this case it will not be yes. If x=2, answer will be NO.
If x=4 ans will be yes. It will be insuff.
Therefore it is important that you factor down the divisor and check the possibility of x in its prime factor form being div by it.
