872536
Advertisements
Solution
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Since 872536 is not divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 6.
Checking the divisibility by 3: The sum of the digits of the number, 8 + 7 + 2 + 5 + 3 + 6, is 31, which is not divisible by 3. So, the number is not divisible by 3.
