128 is  129 is not
3 The sum of the digits is divisible by 3
381 (3+8+1=12, and 12÷3 = 4) Yes
217 (2+1+7=10, and 10÷3 = 3 1/3) No

2013 (2+0+1+3=6) No
10 The number ends in 0
11 If you sum every second digit and then subtract all other digits and the answer is: 0, or divisible by 11
1364 ((3+4) - (1+6) = 0) Yes
3729 ((7+9) - (3+2) = 11) Yes
25176 ((5+7) - (2+1+6) = 3) No
12 The number is divisible by both 3 and 4
648    (By 3? 6+4+8=18 and 18÷3=6 Yes.
        By 4? 48÷4=12 Yes) Yes
