Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

### Divisibility in Whole Numbers

When dividing a whole number, dividend, by another whole number, divisor, the result is quotient and remainder. The remainder is 0, or in other words, the divisor divides the dividend without a remainder. This basic property leads to understanding all the following

•  odd and even numbers

•  prime and composite numbers

•  factors and multiples of a number

•  LCM and HCF

•  Divisibility tests

This lesson provides breathtakingly simple and intuitive explanations to the above topics. Especially, the divisibility tests are explained in a simple-thought-process to understand why the procedure works.

Classification of Numbers based on Remainder in Division: Odd-Even and Prime-Composite

•  The numbers that are divisible by 2 without a remainder, they are even. And the numbers that results in 1 as remainder, they are odd.

•  Similarly prime numbers and composite numbers are defined.

Basics of Divisibility Test

A number (dividend) is divisible by a divisor number if the remainder is 0.

A procedure, to check if a given number is divisible by a divisor or not divisible by a divisor, is called divisibility test of the divisor. In this page, some basic divisibility tests for the following are introduced.

•  product of multiple numbers

•  sum of multiple numbers This forms the foundation to developing divisibility tests for numbers like 2, 3, 4, cdots.
