Show Worked Solution

\(\text{A number is divisible by }6\ \text{if it is divisible by both }2\ \text{and }3.\)

\(\text{For divisibility by }2\ \text{the number must end in }2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 0.\ \checkmark\)

\(\text{For divisibility by }3\ \text{the sum of the digits must be divisible by }3.\)

\(2+8+2=12\ \Rightarrow\ \text{divisible by 3}\ \checkmark\)

\(\therefore 282\ \text{is divisible by }6\)
