Answer :
The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. So for the number to be divisible by 6, it must also be divisible by 2 and 3. Therefore, we need to check whether the number is divisible by 2 and then the sum of the digits should also be divisible by 3.
(a) 297144
Since the last digit of the number is 4, it is divisible by 2, so, the given number is divisible by 2.
On adding all the digits of the number, the sum obtained is 27 since 27 is divisible by 3, the given number is also divisible by 3.
As per the divisibility rule of 6 the number is divisible by both 2 and 3, so, it is divisible by 6.
(b) 1258
Since the last digit of the number is 8, it is divisible by 2, so, the given number is divisible by 2.
On adding all the digits of the number, the sum obtained is 16 since 16 is not divisible by 3, the given number is also not divisible by 3.
As per the divisibility rule of 6 the number should be divisible by 2 and 3 but the given number is not divisible by both 2 and 3, so, it’s not divisible by 6.
(c) 4335
Since the last digit of the number is 5, it is not divisible by 2, so, the given number is not divisible by 2
On adding all the digits of the number, the sum obtained is 15 since 15 is divisible by 3, the given number is also divisible by 3.
As per the divisibility rule of 6 the number should be divisible by both 2 and 3 the numberbut the given number is not divisible by both 2 and 3, so, it is not divisible by 6.
(d) 61233
Since the last digit of the number is 3, it is not divisible by 2, so, the given number is not divisible by 2
On adding all the digits of the number, the sum obtained is 15 since 15 is divisible by 3, the given number is also divisible by 3.
As per the divisibility rule of 6 the number should be divisible by both 2 and 3 but the given number is not divisible by both 2 and 3, so, it is not divisible by 6.
(e) 901352
Since the last digit of the number is 2, it is divisible by 2, so, the given number is divisible by 2
On adding all the digits of the number, the sum obtained is 20 since 20 is not divisible by 3, the given number is also not divisible by 3.
As per the divisibility rule of 6 the number should be divisible by both 2 and 3 but the given number is not divisible by both 2 and 3, so, it is not divisible by 6.
(f) 438750
Since the last digit of the number is 0, it is divisible by 2, so, the given number is divisible by 2
On adding all the digits of the number, the sum obtained is 27 since 27 is divisible by 3, the given number is also divisible by 3.
As per the divisibility rule of 6 the number should be divisible by both 2 and 3, the given number is divisible by both 2 and 3, so, it is divisible by 6.
(g) 1790184
