Importance of Divisibility Rules

by virtuoso902 » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:17 am
Is it important to memorize the divisibility rules?

e.g. is 769876 divisible by 9?

I've seen them on both the Kaplan and PR books to learn but I never see problems that require knowing them.

If I do need to memorize them what number should I memorize up to? 1-10? 1-15?
