Divisible by 8 Rule Explained

To determine if a number is divisible by 8, we only need to look at the number formed by its last three digits. If the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8, then the entire number is divisible by 8.

Number Analysis for Divisibility by 8

Let's apply this rule to the given numbers:

Number Last Three Digits Check: Is (Last 3 Digits) ÷ 8 divisible? Result
6816 816 Is $816 \div 8$ divisible? Calculation: $816 \div 8 = 102$. Yes
6006 006 (or 6) Is $6 \div 8$ divisible? Calculation: $6 \div 8 = 0.75$. No
5006 006 (or 6) Is $6 \div 8$ divisible? Calculation: $6 \div 8 = 0.75$. No
6124 124 Is $124 \div 8$ divisible? Calculation: $124 \div 8 = 15.5$. No

Final Check: Identifying the Correct Number

Based on the analysis using the divisibility rule for 8:

  • 6816: The last three digits (816) are divisible by 8.
  • 6006: The last three digits (6) are not divisible by 8.
  • 5006: The last three digits (6) are not divisible by 8.
  • 6124: The last three digits (124) are not divisible by 8.

Therefore, the only number among the options that is divisible by 8 is 6816.
