YOu only use the Venn diagrams when you are attempting to figure out LCM or GCF. If you are dealing with divisibility then use the prime box.

I don't even use the Venn diagram though. With LCM and GCF...I find the methods in one of the advanced chapters more universal (ie: large numbers, numbers with variables, etc)
