Possible strategy: 120 is divisible by 2 (it is even) and by 3 (the sum of the digits in 120 [1 + 2 + 0 = 3] is a multiple of 3). Since 120 is divisible by 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6. Encourage students to share their strategies. Have calculators available.

C. Evenly Divisible

Frank wants to buy stickers for 6 friends who will be attending his birthday party. At the store, he sees four different collections of stickers.

      One pad has 95 stickers.
      One pad has 110 stickers.
      One pad has 120 stickers.
      One pad has 160 stickers.

Frank plans to buy one pad of stickers. If he wants to divide the stickers evenly among his 6 guests without any leftovers, which pad should he purchase? How did you decide?
