Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 17 Opening Exercise Answer Key 2

Discussion:

Divisibility rule for 2: If and only if its unit digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8

Divisibility rule for 4: If and only if its last two digits are a number divisible by 4

Divisibility rule for 5: If and only if its unit digit is 0 or 5

Divisibility rule for 8: If and only if its last three digits are a number divisible by 8

Divisibility rule for 10: If and only if its unit digit is 0

Decimal numbers with fraction parts do not follow the divisibility tests:
Students learn two new divisibility rules today. The rules are used to determine if numbers are divisible by 3 or 9. Start with students who already know the factors of 3 and 9, so they can see that the rule works.

→ What do the numbers 12, 18, 30, 66, and 93 all have in common?
Each is divisible by 3.

→ Calculate the sum of the digits for each given number. For example, the sum of the digits in the number 12 is 3 because 1 + 2 = 3.

Give students time to find the sums. Record the sums on the board.
→ What do these sums have in common?
They are divisible by 3.

→ When the sum of a number’s digits is divisible by 3, the entire number is divisible by 3. Now let’s examine a different set of numbers: 27, 36, 54, 72, and 99. What do these numbers have in common?
They are divisible by 9.

→ Calculate the sum of the digits for each given number.
Provide time for students to find the sums. Record the sums on the board.

→ What do all the sums have in common?
They are divisible by 9.

→ When the sum of the digits is divisible by 3 and 9, the entire number is divisible by 9. Let’s use this knowledge to determine if a large number is divisible by 3, 9, or both. The number 765 is divisible by both 3 and 9.

→ We can use what we know about the distributive property to prove that 765 is divisible by 3 and by 9.
→ Let’s begin by expanding 765.

Display the following progression.
→ We can represent 765 as:
7 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 5 × 1

→ We can further decompose the numbers that are easily seen as divisible by 3 and 9.
→ Let’s decompose 100 to 99 + 1. Why would we do this?
Because we already know that 99 is divisible by 3 and 9.
7(99 + 1) + 6 × 10 + 5

→ We can also decompose 10 to 9 + 1. Why would we do this?
Because we already know that 9 is divisible by 3 and 9.
7(99 + 1) + 6(9+ 1) + 5

→ Let’s use the distributive property further to distribute the factor 7 in the expression. We can represent 7
times the quantity (99 + 1) as 7(99) + 7 × 1, or 7(99) + 7.
7(99) + 7+ 6(9 + 1) + 5

→ We can distribute the factor 6 in the same fashion. How can we distribute the factor 6 in the expression?
We can represent 6 times the quantity (9 + 1) as 6(9) + 6 × 1, or 6(9) + 6.
7(99) + 7 + 6(9) + 6 + 5

→ Since we know that 9 is divisible by both 3 and 9, let’s factor the 9 out of the expression. We can use the commutative and associative properties to easily see this.
7(99) + 7 + 6(9) + 6 + 5
7(9 × 11) + 6(9 × 1) + 7 + 6 + 5
9(7 × 11 + 6) + 7 + 6 + 5

→ Let’s investigate our current expression. Obviously the product of 9(7 × 11 + 6) is divisible by 9 since the 9 is already factored out.

→ What about the sum of 7 + 6 + 5? What is the sum? Is this sum divisible by 3 and 9?
7 + 6 + 5 = 18.
This sum is divisible by 3 and 9.

→ Are 3 and 9 both factors of 18?
Yes

→ What do you notice about the addends 7 + 6 + 5?
They are the digits of our original number 765.

Let’s look once more at the expression:
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 2 Lesson 17 Opening Exercise Answer Key 3

→ Since the first term is divisible by 3 and 9, the number 765 is divisible by 3 and 9 if and only if 7 + 6 + 5 is also divisible by 3 and 9.
→ This process can be used for any decimal whole number!
Introduce the divisibility rules for 3 and 9. Have students record the rules in their student materials.

Divisibility rule for 3: If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.

Divisibility rule for 9: If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.

3 + 7 + 8 = 18; the sum of the three digits is 18.

e. Is 18 divisible by 9?
Answer:
Yes

f. Is the entire number 378 divisible by 9? Why or why not?
Answer:
The number 378 is divisible by 9 because the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.

g. Is the number 378 divisible by 3? Why or why not?
Answer:
Three is a factor of 378 because if 9 is a factor of 378, then 3 will also be a factor. OR
The number 378 is divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.

Example 2.
Is 3,822 divisible by 3 or 9? Why or why not?
Answer:
The number 3,822 is divisible by 3 but not by 9 because the sum of the digits is 3 + 8 + 2 + 2 = 15, and 15 is divisible by 3 but not by 9.
