How many of the following numbers are divisible by 132 ?
264, 396, 462, 792, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336
264, 396, 462, 792, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336
Answer: Option
Explanation:
132 = 4 x 3 x 11
So, if the number divisible by all the three number 4, 3 and 11, then the number is divisible by 132 also.
264 
11,3,4 (/)
396 11,3,4 (/)
462 11,3 (X)
792 11,3,4 (/)
968 11,4 (X)
2178 11,3 (X)
5184 3,4 (X)
6336 11,3,4 (/)
Therefore the following numbers are divisible by 132 : 264, 396, 792 and 6336.
Required number of number = 4.

I will give one number and give clearly explanation step by step 132 find out factors?
How it will takes factors reply fast?

I just got confused with the logic, there are many answers to this not one. I agree with dividing each by 132 to get a whole number with no reminder. Its more satisfying.

Can you please explain me what is the divisibility condition for 11.

Why we take only 11, 4, 3? Please answer.

We can't take 2 as it will not sufficient for 132 but if we take 2 then we will be checking for 66.

@Yuvaraj.
I don't think the given solution I applicable for every number.
Eg: 9988 is divisible by all the factors of 88 (4 x 2 x 11).
But then too it is not divisible by 88.

@Koala,
I guess you missed out on the fact that we in here are talking about co-primes while 4 and 2 don't happen to be co-prime factors. 88 = 8 * 11.
And 9988 is not divisible by 8.

This is the wrong answer. In this logic, 462 can also divide by 4, 3, 11.

968 & 2178 is divisible by 11.
