VIII. 6 is a factor of 13326 and 7332. Is 6 a factor of 13326+7332 and 13326-7332?
Solution:
Given 6 is a factor of 13326 and 7332.
The Sum of 13326 and 7332 is 20658.
Difference of 13326 and 7332 is 5994.
We have to find whether 20658 and 5994 are divisible by 6.
According to the Divisibility Rule,
A  number is divisible by 6 if it is divided by 2 and 3.
In 20658, 8 is in the unit’s place. it is divisible by 2. So 20658 is divisible by 2.
Sum of digits=2+0+6+5+8=21
21 is divisible by 3. So 20658 is divisible by 3.
Hence 20658 is divisible by 6.
!n 5994, 4 is in the unit’s place. So 5994 is divisible by 2.
Sum of digits=5+9+9+4=27
