Divisibility Rules and Concepts

Matt explains the divisibility rule for 6, which requires a number to be divisible by both 2 and 3. He demonstrates this with the number 738, showing it ends in an even number, making it divisible by 2. He then adds the digits (7, 3, and 8) to get 18, which is divisible by 3. Thus, 738 is divisible by 6. The video concludes with a quick review and a link to a more detailed explanation.
