What It Looks Like

Recognition signals — when you see these, think of this structure:

  • 1Divisible by a specific number
  • 2Multiple of something
  • 3Factor conditions on the answer
🎯

What It Really Tests

The core mathematical idea behind this structure:

Use divisibility conditions as filters to narrow candidates instead of testing blindly.

用整除条件作为过滤器来缩小候选范围, 而不是逐个检验。

⚠️

Why Students Get Stuck

Common mistakes to watch out for:

  • Checking numbers one by one without strategy
  • Using only one factor condition when there are several
  • Ignoring combined constraints (e.g. divisible by 6 = divisible by 2 AND 3)
💡

Your First Step

How to begin thinking about problems with this structure:

Break the divisibility condition into factor requirements first.

先把整除条件分解成因子要求。
