Explain the divisibility rule of 6.

Divisibility rule of 6:

• Numbers that are divisible by both 2 and 3 are divisible by 6.
• That is, if the last digit of the given number is even and the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3, then the given number is also a multiple of 6.
  

Example:

786

The number is divisible by 2 as the last digit is 6.

The sum of digits is $7+8+6 = 21$, which is also divisible by 3.

Hence 786 is divisible by 6.
