      I only know rules for 2 (even number), 3 (digits sum to 3), 4 (last two digits are divisible by 4), 5 (ends in 5 or 0), 6 (if it satisfies the rules for both 3 and 2), 9 (digits sum to 9), and 10 (ends in 0).

      I don’t know of one for 7, 8 or 13. 11 has a limited goofy one that involves seeing if the outer digits sum to the inner digits. 12 is divisible by both 3 and 4, so like 6, it has to satisfy both of those rules.

        7 is double the last number and subtract from the rest

        749 (easily divisible by 7 but for example sake)

        9*2=18

        74-18=56

        6*2=12

        5-12= -7, or if you recognize 56 is 7*8…


        I’ll do another, random 6 digit number appear!

        59271

        1*2=2

        5927-2=5925

        5*2=10

        592-10=582

        2*2=4

        58-4=54, or not divisible

        I guess for this to work you should at least know the first 10 times tables…

        11 is alternating sum
        So, first digit minus second plus third minus fourth…
        And then check if that is divisible by 11.
