Types of Numbers

graph TD
    A[Numbers] --> B[Real Numbers]
    A --> C[Complex Numbers]
    B --> D[Rational Numbers]
    B --> E[Irrational Numbers]
    D --> F[Integers]
    D --> G[Fractions]
    F --> H[Whole Numbers]
    H --> I[Natural Numbers]

Important Divisibility Rules

Number Rule Example
2 Last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 4562
3 Sum of digits is divisible by 3 123 (1+2+3=6)
4 Last two digits are divisible by 4 512
5 Last digit is 0 or 5 895
9 Sum of digits is divisible by 9 729 (7+2+9=18)

Practice Cases

When dealing with large numbers, always look for patterns using the divisibility rules. This will save you a lot of time during the test. For instance, checking if a number ends in 0 or 5 immediately identifies multiples of 5. When dealing with large numbers, always look for patterns using the divisibility rules.
