Divisible by 6

A number is divisible by 6 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 AND its last digit is even (in other words, a number is divisible by 6 if it is an even number and it is divisible by 3).


Practice:

Find a path from the START to the END passing only through numbers that are divisible by 6. Note that there is only one solution for this numerical maze.

Divisible by 12

A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 AND 4.

Remember:

1) If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3 that number is divisible by 3. For example, 2130021 is divisible by 3 because 9, the sum of its digits (2 + 1 + 3 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 9), is divisible by 3.

2) If half of a number is an even number then that number is divisible by 4. For example, 72 is divisible by 4 because half of it, 36, is an even number. Also, if the last two digits of a number is divisible by 4 then that number is divisible by 4. As an example: 897232 is divisible by 4 because its last 2 digits; i.e. 32, is divisible by 4.

Q: Is 804 divisible by 12?

A: Yes, because it is divisible by 3 and 4:

8 + 0 + 4 = 12 where 12 is divisible by 3
AND
804 / 2 = 402 where 402 is an even number.

Find a path from the START to the END passing only through numbers that are divisible by 12. Note that there is only one solution for this numerical maze.
