4. Learn the Divisibility rules as it will be beneficial for you to do the calculation in no time.

Numbers If a Number
Divisible by 2 End with 0,2,4,6,8 are divisible by 2
Divisible by 3 Sum of its digits  is divisible by 3
Divisible by 4 Last two digit divisible by 4
Divisible by 5 Ends with 0 or 5
Divisible by 6 Divides by Both 2 & 3
Divisible by 8 Last 3 digit divide by 8
Divisible by 10 End with 0
Divisible by 11 [Sum of its digit in  odd places-Sum of its digits in even places]= 0 or multiple of 11

5. Learn the different tricks that can really help you to fasten your calculation like Digital sum method that is explained below:

  • In this method, we get the digit-sum of a number by adding across the number. for eg, the digit-sum of 13022 is 1+3+0+2+2=8
  • The trick is to  always reduce the digit-sum to a single figure. for eg, the digit-sum of 5264 is 5+2+6+4=17 and further reduce it to single figure i.e 17 is reduced to a single figure i.e. digit sum of 1+7=8.
  • What is important to note here is the fact that in adding across a number we may drop out 9, 9 doesn’t count on digit sum. eg1: digit sum of 9901is (0+1)= 1 or eg2: digit sum of 279 is (2+7+9)= 0 here digit sum of (2,7) makes 9.
  • Even for decimals, the process remains the same but we don’t pay attention to the decimal points. The digit sum of 6.256 is (6+2+5+6)=19, neglect 9= digit sum is 1
  • We can apply this trick  for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. You can straight away eliminate the options based on this method.
