Abstract
The rules for divisibility are studied at almost every grade level. As soon as a child learns to count by 2s, the conceptual basis for divisibility has begun. The purpose of this article is to offer an alternative to individual divisibility rules by generating a general process that can be applied to establish divisibility by any number
