Divisibility
2 if it is even

4 if the last two digits is a multiple of 4
5 if it ends with 0 or 5
6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3
7 if the difference between twice the last digit and the numbers formed by the remaining digits is a multiple of 7
8 if the last three digits is a multiple of 8
9 if the sum of digits is a multiple of 9
10 if it ends with 0
11 if the difference between sums of alternate digits is 0 or a multiple of 11
12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4

Prime Factors
 Prime Factorization
 Greatest Common Factor
 Least Common Multiple

Ex. Find the Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple of 12 & 18

12 = 2 x 2 x 3
18 = 2 x 3 x 3

2 x 3 = 6 GCF

12 = 2 x 2 x 3
18 = 2 x 3 x 3

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36 LCM
